The answer is 10. The notation 2(3) is acceptable as the product 2 and 3. If the 6 squared were intended to be multiplied by 2 then that product must be written in parentheses.
The way loyalty to Donald Trump almost paid off for Mike Pence would have been hanging by the January 6 insurrectionists. Cartoons shouldn’t be posting drawings of the hanging of a public figure.
I’m impressed. Usually I just read a cartoon and either laugh or don’t laugh. This time, I had to stop and figure it out. Perhaps I’m obsessive, but I had to solve it. Had to, couldn’t stop till I had it. Some good creative solutions too. Gee, a cartoon that engages my mind. Ai yi-yi.
I’ve got no information source for some of these comments. How do we know, logicalone, that there are 34 million blank ID cards for ILLEGALS? Specifically 34 million? Just for illegals? How would you know?

Well, no. The web site for insurance enrollment didn’t work. Fiscally, in the first term, we did NOT have a depression. Internationally, we no longer have the burden of an Iraq-war-forever and Iran is at the table. Dare we hope for Palestinian-Israeli settlement?
What bothers me is the number who hoped for a failed presidency and worked very hard to make it happen.
Okay, I may be blind. I could be called brain-dead. I don’t go by cults of personality or any other cult and am certainly not an ozombie. But I do care about the unemployed and people who can’t afford medical insurance. Not to mention the truly dead and maimed brave soldiers fighting the fool’s errand (Cheney-Bush’s) in Iraq.
The Obama presidency will be judged some years from now, but my view is it will be measured by its successes in spite of virulent opposition.
