Answer 1

Eva Adamson

See a solution process below:

First execute the Multiplication operation within the Parenthesis:

#3 + (color(red)(6 xx 2)) => 3 + 12#

Now, execute the Addition operation to complete the simplification:

#color(red)(3 + 12) => 15#

To simplify the expression 3 + (6 × 2) using PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction):

First, perform the operation inside the parentheses: 6 × 2 = 12.
Then, rewrite the expression with the result of the operation: 3 + 12.
Finally, perform the addition: 3 + 12 = 15.

Therefore, the simplified expression is 15.
