PEMDAS

First, it is parenthesis, so we do 3-1 = 2 first inside the parenthesis

Next is exponents, so we get 2^2 = 4

Now our equation looks like 6 + 4*4 / sqrt25

We can get the square root out because sqrt25 = 5

So we have 6 + 4*4 / 5

MD are together, so we multiply and divide

6 + 16 / 5

6 + 3.2

Then we add them

9.2

And we are done.
