(3^2+(8/4+4^2))

Could you please help me with this problem???

3 answers

(3^2 + (8/4 + 4^2))

Parenthesis first:

(8/4 + 4^2)

8/4 = 2
4^2 = 16

Now add the totals.

(2 + 16) = (18)

Now you should have:

(3^2 + (18))

Now solve 3^2:

3^2 = 9

Now you should have:

(9 + (18))

Now add the two numbers.

9 + 18 = 27

So, 27 is the answer.

I hope this helps! :)
Thanks
You're welcome, Amy. :)
