Question

what is 3[(4-8+2^4(2+5)] its supposed to be 2 to the 4 power but I couldn't write that out also I dont know what the brackets mean

Answer 1

Take into account it is necessary to solve the inner parenthesis first, and next the brackets, just as follow:

3[(4-8+2⁴(2+5))] =

3[(4-8+2⁴(7))] =

3[(4-8+(16)(7))] =

3[(4-8+112)] =

3[(108)] =

324

Hence, the simplified xpression is equal to 324
