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 (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.

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