Question

What is `[(8+5)*(6-2) ^2] - (4*17 -: 2)`?

Answer 1

174

Explanation:

Consider PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction).

Begin by solving what is in parentheses:
`[(13)*(4)^2]-(34)`
Solve the expression in the last set of parentheses from right to left.

Next, solve for expressions involving exponents:
`[13*16]-34`

Now multiply:
`208-34`

And subtract:
`174`
