Question

How do you simplify `(1 + 3 times 3)^2 + 8` using order of operations?

Answer 1

`108`

Explanation:

`(1+3*3)^2+8=10^2+8=108`

Answer 2

108

Explanation:

given `(1+3*3)^2+8`, you first go inside the parenthesis (first you multiply and then add), so we get `(1+9)^2+8`.
now we add inside the parenthesis and we get `(10)^2 +8`.
now we have to calculate `(10)^2=(10)(10)=100`.
finally, we add the 8 and we obtain `100+8=108`
