Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:12 Let's solve this problem together.
00:16 First, break it down and calculate the power.
00:22 Now, find the square root of thirty-six.
00:32 Remember, always calculate what's inside parentheses first.
00:37 A number divided by itself is always one.
00:45 Next, let's work out the quotient.
00:50 And that's how we find the solution!

Step-by-Step Solution

Before solving the exercise, let's start by simplifying the power and the root:

72=7×7=49 7^2=7\times7=49

36=62=6 \sqrt{36}=\sqrt{6^2}=6

Now, we arrange the exercise accordingly:

496:63+3×(5+2)= \frac{49-6:6}{3+3}\times(5+2)=

According to the rules of the order of operations, parentheses are solved first:

496:63+3×(7)= \frac{49-6:6}{3+3}\times(7)=

Now we focus on the fraction, we start with the division exercise in the numerator, then we add and subtract as appropriate:

4913+3×(7)=486×(7)= \frac{49-1}{3+3}\times(7)=\frac{48}{6}\times(7)=

We solve the exercise from left to right, first the division exercise and finally we multiply:

8×7=56 8\times7=56

Answer

56 56
