Let's break down the expression step by step:
-
Calculate \(3^2\): \[ 3^2 = 9 \]
-
Calculate \(9 \times 4\): \[ 9 \times 4 = 36 \]
-
Now substitute these values back into the expression: \[ 9 + 36 - 7 \]
-
Add \(9\) and \(36\): \[ 9 + 36 = 45 \]
-
Finally, subtract \(7\): \[ 45 - 7 = 38 \]
So, the result of the expression \(3^2 + (9 \times 4) - 7\) is \(38\).
