Question

How do you solve `(4 – 1)[(1 + 6) + 2]`?

Answer 1

27

Explanation:

You start by adding the brackets, which gives you `(4-1)((1+6)+2)=(3)(7+2)` Then, you add 7 and 2 and then multiply by 3.

Answer 2

27

Explanation:

First, you would need to solve all the things put in brackets:

`( 4 - 1 )[ ( 1 + 6 ) + 2 ]`
As i said, solve the brackets:
`= ( 3 )[ ( 7 ) + 2 ]`
And then, you solve the inside bracket first, then the outside:
`= ( 3 )[ 7 + 2 ]`
`= ( 3 )[ 9 ]`
`=27`
