no.
You may NOT add 5 and 3x^2.
5 + 3 x 2 + (4+2)=
I assume you mean for this to be
5 + 3x^2 + (4+2) = and I'll go from there.
3x^2 + 11 =
3x^2 = -11
x^2 = -11/3
x = sqrt (-11/3)
5 + 3 x 2 + (4+2)=

5 + 3 x 2 + (4+2)
5 + 3*2 + 6 Do in parentheses first
5 + 6 + 6 multiply or divide
now add
I also get 17
BUT perhaps you left a parenthesis out?
IF you really had
(5+3)*2 + (4+2)
THEN
(8)*2 + 6
=16 +6
=22

5+3=8 right?
now you solved what 5+3 equaled.
Now your problem reads 8x2+(4+2)
Next you solve what 8x2 equales and what 4+2 equales.
and when you add those two answers together what do you get?

I assume she used x for times and not a variable name based on her earlier postings, but I could easily be wrong.
Really for that reason it is a good idea to use * for "multiply" Ashley

you all are right, I was still confused but look above, I think I have it now...
