Answer 1

In a word: PEMDAS

That's the order of operations where:
(P)arentheses are done first
(E)xponents are done next
(M)ultiplication and (D)ivision are done next
(A)ddition and (S)ubtraction is done last

Answer 2

Thank you for telling me the order of operation's, it helped me out.

Answer 3

Did it tell you whether your answer is A,B,C or D?

Answer 4

Nope. That would be the second pair to work on. You have a multiplication sign prior to that.
