Question: 1 / 400

What is the result of 6 + (-3)2?

-3

3

The equation follows the standard order of operations, also known as PEMDAS. The parentheses signify that the number inside of them must be evaluated first. Therefore, we first solve (-3)2, which is equal to -6. Next, we apply the addition portion of the equation to get 6 + (-6), which equals to 0. So, the final result is 0 + 6, giving us an answer of 6.

A is incorrect because it goes against the order of operations.

C and D are incorrect because the parentheses must be evaluated first and therefore the answer cannot be a multiple of 2.
