Order of operations: parentheses/brackets, exponents, multiplication/division, and addition/subtraction

Since there are no parentheses, the exponent has to be evaluated first:

$25-8*2+3^2$

$25-8*2+9 rarr$ Next comes multiplication

$25-16+9 rarr$ Now there's just subtraction and then addition (follow the order in which it is written)

$9+9$

$18$
