Solution

Let's solve the expression using the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, and Addition/Subtraction).

Given:

6(35)37(45)36(3 - 5)^3 - 7(4 - 5)^3

Step 1: Simplify inside parentheses

6(2)37(1)36(-2)^3 - 7(-1)^3

Step 2: Apply exponents

=6(8)7(1)= 6(-8) - 7(-1) =48+7= -48 + 7

Step 3: Perform addition/subtraction

=48+7=41= -48 + 7 = -41

Final Answer:

41\boxed{-41}

Here are five related questions to consider:

  1. What are the rules for evaluating negative exponents?
  2. How does changing the signs inside parentheses affect exponents?
  3. Can you explain why multiplication comes after exponents in PEMDAS?
  4. What happens if parentheses are omitted in an expression like this?
  5. How does cubing a negative number affect its sign?

Tip: Always double-check parentheses and exponents when simplifying complex expressions.
