Please help i have a big trouble! What is the positive difference between $$\frac{6^2 + 6^2}{6}$$    and $$\frac{6^2 \times 6^2}{6}$$?

Alrighty!

6^2 is 36

6^2+6^2 is 72

72/6=12

6^2x6^2 is 36x36

36^2 is 1296.

1296/6 is 216

72-216 is... drumroll please... -144

Yay!

Edit:

Im stupid, I mixed 72 and 12 up... my fault. Sorry

It says positive difference though? Would it still be -144

No ......it would be +144 (though that is incorrect number)

216-12= 204

We know that 6^2*6^2=6^4 and 6^2+6^2=2*6^2 it is the difference between  2*6=12 and 6^3=216

Well $$\frac{6^2 + 6^2}{6}=12$$ and $$\frac{6^2 \times 6^2}{6}=216$$ so the difference is 12-216=-204
