Math Problem Statement

6 - 2 + 3 x ( 2 - 3)^2

Solution

Let's solve the expression step by step:

62+3×(23)26 - 2 + 3 \times (2 - 3)^2

Step 1: Simplify inside the parentheses

23=12 - 3 = -1 So, the expression becomes: 62+3×(1)26 - 2 + 3 \times (-1)^2

Step 2: Square the value inside the parentheses

(1)2=1(-1)^2 = 1 Now the expression is: 62+3×16 - 2 + 3 \times 1

Step 3: Multiply

3×1=33 \times 1 = 3 Now the expression becomes: 62+36 - 2 + 3

Step 4: Add and subtract

62=46 - 2 = 4 4+3=74 + 3 = 7

So, the final answer is: 7\boxed{7}
