  1. u must simplify 3^2 first because the order of operations states that u have to do exponents before subtraction.

    2. 12 - 3^2 = 81......she subtracted the 3 first....12 - 3^2 = 9^2 = 81...which is an incorrect answer

    3. u do not divide before simplifying 3^2.....order of operations states that u have to do exponents before division

    4. no.....(12 - 3)^2 ......order of operations states that u do parenthesis before exponents...so (12 - 3)^2 = 9^2 = 81
