Use PEMDAS (parenthesis, exponents, multiply, divide, add, subtract)so first do 5 to the 2nd power. (5 x 5 = 25) so now you have:25-3*4Next do 3*4 =12Now you have 25-12 = 13Answer: 13
PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Add, Subtract)So first you find out was 5^2 is. 5^2 = 5 times 5 = 25.so now you have 25 - 3*4so now you find 3*4 which equals 12.25-12= 17. theres your answer! hope this helped! :D
Always use the order of operations (PEMDAS).5^2 is 5*5, so it's 25.25 - (3*4) =25- 12 = 17.Just make sure to use the order of operations for any complicated equation you encounter.
