Question

How do you evaluate `8\cdot \sqrt { 36} - 6\cdot 3`?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

Using the standard order or operation or PEDMAS, the square root function is treated like a Parenthesis so we evaluate it first:

`9 * color(red)(sqrt(36)) - 6 * 3 => 9 * 6 - 6 * 3`

Next, execute the Multiplication operations:

`color(red)(9) * color(red)(6) - color(blue)(6) * color(blue)(3) => 54 - 18`

Now, execute the Subtraction operation:

`color(red)(54) - color(red)(18) => 36`
