Hello, Connections students. I have found many students who have been using these websites to cheat during an assessment. I have been speaking to parents and students about this. You all fail to understand that you can do your own work. If you need help with assignments, feel free to get a tutor or ask a teacher, or even better a parent! This is not the way to go.

To solve this expression, you need to follow the order of operations, which is commonly known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division - left to right, Addition and Subtraction - left to right).

Let's break down the expression step by step:

1. Start by evaluating the expression inside the parentheses: (4 + 2) = 6.

So, the expression becomes: 4 + 3 × [6 ÷ 6]2.

2. Next, perform the division: 6 ÷ 6 = 1.

The expression now becomes: 4 + 3 × 1^2.

3. Since there are no more parentheses or exponents, we move on to multiplication.

The expression simplifies to: 4 + 3 × 1.

4. Finally, perform the multiplication: 3 × 1 = 3.

Now, you have: 4 + 3 = 7.

So, the answer to the expression 4 + 3 × [6 ÷ (4 + 2)]2 is 7.

Therefore, the correct option is: 7.
