Answer 13

Do you mind that I made a mistake? LOL

Let me explain where I guided you falsely.

We got to "5+4(2)^2." This translate to "5+4*4"

So, from 5+4*4, we know to multiply 4*4 first, which equals to 16. We then add 5 and we have our answer.

Answer 14

Complete steps:

5+4(8-6)^2
5+4*2^2
5+4*4
5+16
21
