Question

In the problem 6 + 3  2, which operation should be completed first?

TheEntryPass · Accepted Answer

A Rationale: The first operation to complete in the expression 6 + 3 × 2 is multiplication, according to the order of operations.

Addition occurs after multiplication in the order of operations, which prioritizes multiplication and division before addition and subtraction. In this expression, 3 multiplied by 2 is performed first, yielding 6 + 6. Other operations like addition, division, or subtraction do not take precedence over multiplication in this context, as they would only be executed once the multiplication is resolved, confirming that multiplication is the correct first step.
