how do I end up having 36
Answer provided by our tutors
The answer is 3096, or "3,096", or "three thousand and ninety-six". The reference to 'having 36' is not understood. The attached image shows the solution process, so values within the parentheses/brackets are resolved first and then a final multiplication becomes 6(4+512) which results in 6*516=3096.
