You have to simplify the following expression
[tex]6+(7^2-1)+12\div3[/tex]To solve this calculation you have to keep in mind the order of operations, which is:
1st: Parentheses
2nd: Exponents
3rd: Division/Multiplication
4th: Addition/Subtraction
1) The first step is to solve the calculation within the parentheses
[tex](7^2-1)[/tex]To solve it you have to follows the order of operations first, which means you have to solve the exponent first and then the subtraction:
[tex]7^2-1=49-1=48[/tex]So the whole expression with the parentheses calculated is:
[tex]6+48+12\div3[/tex]2) The second step is to solve the division:
[tex]12\div3=4[/tex]Now the expression is
[tex]6+48+4[/tex]3) Third step is to add the three values:
[tex]6+48+4=58[/tex]
