Hello, there!
In order to solve problems like this DO PEMDAS
[tex]Parentheses \\ Exponent \\ Multiplication \\ Division \\ Addition \\ Subtraction [/tex]
The Exponent: [tex]2^2 [/tex]
So, [tex]2^2[/tex] equals 4
Your problem becomes[tex](3 - 4) + 5 [/tex]
Now we have to do what is in the [tex]parentheses [/tex] ( [tex](3 - 4)[/tex]
[tex]4 = -4 [/tex] ( the [tex]4 [/tex] is a [tex]negative [/tex] )
And [tex]3 - 4 = -1 [/tex]
Problem becomes [tex](-1) + 5 [/tex]
[tex](-1) + 5 = 4 [/tex]
So, this means that your answer would be [tex]4 [/tex]
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
