Online, “*” is used to indicate multiplication to avoid confusion with “x” as an unknown.
From the way you wrote the equation, 23 is not an exponent.
Assuming you have a typo, C is the closest answer.
Apply the order of operations to simplify each expression.
5 + 23 × 2 = _____
A. 21
B. 17
C. 50
D. 13
the 23 is an exponent it is 2 then 3 plz help me!!!

5 + 8 * 2
5 + 16
5 + 16
The exponent of a number says how many times to use the number in a multiplication. In 82 the "2" says to use 8 twice in a multiplication, so 8^2 = 8 * 8 = 64 In words: 8^2 could be called "8 to the power 2" or "8 to the second power", or simply "8 squared"
uhh ok thx!!
ah
5 + 2^3 * 2
exponent first
5 + 8 * 2
then multiplication
5 + 16
then add
21
5 + 2^3 * 2
exponent first
5 + 8 * 2
then multiplication
5 + 16
then add
21
there is no typo the 23 is an exponent it is just idk how to write one so i just put 23 3 is the smaller one up above
i am confused
what is the answer
so what is it 50
and i have to simplfiy
look, 23^3 is 23 * 23 * 23
which is 12,167
That is not remotely what you mean.

That is not remotely what you mean.
I am pretty sure you mean 2^3 * 2 which is 8 * 2 = 16
then add 5 and you get 21 which is one of your choices
then add 5 and you get 21 which is one of your choices
by the way 2^3 * 2^1 = 2^(3+1) = 2^4 = 16
:)

I can not make any other interpretation of your intention come out to one of your choices.
a^3 = a * a * a
so
2^3 = 2*2*2
= 8
a^3 = a * a * a
so
2^3 = 2*2*2
= 8
in the expression 2^3
2 is the base and 3 is the exponent
2 is the base and 3 is the exponent
