Applying precedence of operations, the results of the expression are given by: -23 and 41.
What is the precedence of operations?
If the operations affect each other, we have that:
- Power take precedence over multiplication/division.
- Multiplication/division take precedence over sum/subtraction.
- Parenthesis take precedence over everything.
For this problem, the expression is given by:
3² ± 12 ÷ (6 - 3) x 8
Parenthesis take precedence over multiplication, the power is not related, hence:
3² ± 12 ÷ (6 - 3) x 8 = 9 + 12 ÷ 3 x 8
Division takes precedence, inclusive over the multiplication, as it appears before, hence:
9 ± 12 ÷ 3 x 8 = 9 + 4 x 8
Multiplication takes precedence, hence:
9 ± 4 x 8 = 9 ± 32
Applying the plus/minus, the solutions can be:
