Step 1: Identify the numbers and operations in the expression: 9, 6, 2, +, and ×.
Step 2: Remember the order of operations (BODMAS): Brackets, Orders (powers and roots), Division and Multiplication (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).
Step 3: According to BODMAS, we first do the multiplication: Calculate 6 × 2.
Step 4: 6 × 2 equals 12.
Step 5: Now, replace 6 × 2 in the original expression with 12: The expression now looks like 9 + 12.
Step 6: Next, perform the addition: Calculate 9 + 12.
