Solve 3^2(5-8^3)/1/2

$$3 ^ { 2 } ( 5 - 8 ^ { 3 } ) / \frac { 1 } { 2 }$$

Evaluate

$$-9126$$

Solution Steps

Calculate 3 to the power of 2 and get 9.

$$\frac{9\left(5-8^{3}\right)}{\frac{1}{2}}$$

Calculate 8 to the power of 3 and get 512.

$$\frac{9\left(5-512\right)}{\frac{1}{2}}$$

Subtract 512 from 5 to get -507.

$$\frac{9\left(-507\right)}{\frac{1}{2}}$$

Multiply 9 and -507 to get -4563.

$$\frac{-4563}{\frac{1}{2}}$$

Divide -4563 by \frac{1}{2} by multiplying -4563 by the reciprocal of \frac{1}{2}.

$$-4563\times 2$$

Multiply -4563 and 2 to get -9126.

$$-9126$$

Factor

$$-9126$$
