- Exponents
- Multiplication
- Division
- Addition
- Subtraction
✓Let's solve!
[tex] \tt2[(17-9)÷4] \times 3-6[/tex]
✓Solve for the numbers inside the grouping symbols.
[tex]\tt2 \blue{[(17-9)÷4] }\times 3-6 \\ \tt2[8÷4] \times 3-6 \\ \tt 2(2) \times 3 - 6[/tex]
✓Proceed to multiplication since there is no number that has been raised to the nth power.
[tex] \tt \blue{2(2) \times 3} - 6 \\ \tt 4 \times 3 - 6 \\ \tt 12 - 6[/tex]
✓Then, combine the numbers through subtraction.
[tex] \tt \blue{12 - 6 }\\ \boxed{ \tt 6}[/tex]
