Answer: 13824 or maybe 72
depending on whether the last digit 3 is an exponent or intended to be part of a product
as a product: answer is 72
Y=9, X=7, S=6
(7+6+Y+S -9-2 +X)3
=(13+9+6-9-2+7)3
=(28-9-2+7)3
=(19-2+7)3
=(17+7)3
=(24)3
= 72
BUT if 3 is an exponent, then
24^3 = 13824
Best guess is you intended it as an exponent
Use PEMDAS, order of operations
Parentheses 1st
then exponents
then Multiplication
then Division
then Addition
last subtraction
do the operations left to right
