Math Problem Statement

Evaluate 6 × (5 - 2^2) × (3 - 7 × 1)^2

Solution

The problem asks you to evaluate the following expression:

6×(522)×(37×1)26 \times \left(5 - 2^2\right) \times \left(3 - 7 \times 1\right)^2

Let's break down the expression step by step.

Step 1: Evaluate the exponent

  • 22=42^2 = 4

Step 2: Simplify the first bracket

  • 54=15 - 4 = 1

Step 3: Simplify the second bracket

  • 37×1=37=43 - 7 \times 1 = 3 - 7 = -4

Step 4: Square the result from the second bracket

  • (4)2=16(-4)^2 = 16

Step 5: Multiply all the terms together

  • 6×1×16=966 \times 1 \times 16 = 96

The final answer is 96.
