15 − 4 + (7 − 5)2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How about we take out the parenthesis first and multiply the 2 with 7 and -5?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[15 − 4 + (7 − 5)^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh If ^^^ this is your question, then you need to FOIL out the (7-5)(7-5) first, can you do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to follow PEMDAS parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition and last subtraction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use order of operations :) Do what's inside the parentheses first and then square it. Use PEMDAS. Parentheses Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did pemdas already it just that these options dont add up

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

simplify the terms in the brackets first \((7-5)=2\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15 - 4 + (7 - 5)^2 15 - 4 + (2)^2 15 - 4 + 4 Can you do it now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can also use BODMAS- brackets of division multiplication addition subtraction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have to do what's in the parentheses first. 7 - 5 is in the parentheses. That leaves 2^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There you go :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup, that's right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's 15 - 4 + 4 15 - 4 + 4 11 + 4 15
