How would you Do This Math Example..?

Question

2[12-(6-4) SECOND POWER] thats an example.. What would i do first? Cause of PEMDAS but theres these [ ]

Answer 1

2[12-(6-4)^2]
2[12-4]
2*8=16

Answer 2

P- Parenthesis
E- Exponite
M/D- Multiplication/Division
A/S- Addition/Subtraction

2[12-(6-4)^2]
6-4=2
2 ^2=4
12- 4 = 8
2x8 =16
Answer 16

Answer 3

you first do the 6 to the second power and then the 4. it should turn out 2(12-(36+16))

Answer 4

In simplifying 2[12-(6-4)]2,
don't try to do parentheses from left to right;
instead, work from the inside out:

2[12-(6-4)]2
= 2 * [12-(2)]2
= 2 * [10]2
= 2 * 100
= 200

Answer 5

2[12-(6-4) SECOND POWER]
2[12-(2)second power]
2[12-4]
2[8]
16

Answer 6

Six minus 4 = 2

Then square the 2..and that gives you 4

12 - 4 = 8

then 2 times 8 = 16...

it's been a while...but I think that's right

Answer 7

yeah do the steps that the people who came out with an answer of 16. They are right for sure. lol, it's been so long since pemdas...

Answer 8

Do the 6-4 FIRST because it is most on the inside, then do what's left in the other parenthesis.

Answer 9

always start with what is inside the parentheses, work your way out. If you are inside parenteses inside parentheses, start with tht most deeply imbedded and work your way out

Answer 10

those are just another way to write parathesis it comes first!!!
