Evaluate

Question

17 – (6 – 2)2

Answer 1

To evaluate the given expression, we first need to simplify the expression within the innermost parentheses:

(6 - 2) = 4

Now, we substitute this value back into the original expression:

17 - (4)2

Next, we simplify the expression within the remaining parentheses:

(4)2 = 8

Finally, we substitute this value back into the expression:

17 - 8 = 9

Therefore, 17 – (6 – 2)2 = 9.
