if 3 + 6(2 + 3/6) is actually the power, then simplify 3 + 6(2 + 3/6) as a first step. Must follow Order of Operations rules (PEMDAS): mult and div BEFORE addition and subtraction.
Thus, 3 + 6(2 + 3/6) = 3 + 6 (15/6)
= 3 + 15 = 18.
Then: 3^18 is the answer. You could expand this if you wanted, but what would be the point of that?
