What is the value of (3)2243+246+2(-3)^2 \cdot 2 - 4 \cdot 3 + \frac{24}{-6 + 2}?

  1. 00 (correct answer)
  2. 66
  3. 1212
  4. 1818

Explanation: Following order of operations: First, evaluate exponents and operations in denominators: (-3)² = 9 and (-6 + 2) = -4. Next, perform multiplication and division: 9 × 2 = 18, 4 × 3 = 12, and 24 ÷ (-4) = -6. Finally, combine from left to right: 18 - 12 + (-6) = 6 - 6 = 0. Choice B results from forgetting the final addition of -6. Choice C results from incorrectly calculating the division as positive 6. Choice D results from not performing any subtraction.
