5(-3 +2)^2 =5 ? or is it -11
Yes it is right. Use BIDMAS
Bracket = (-3 + 2) = -1
Indices = (-1)^2 = 1
Division = none
Multiplication = 5 x 1 = 5
Addition = none
Subtraction = none
Answer = 5.
5(-3+2)^2
Remember "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally"
The P is for paranthesis
The E is for exponents
The M is for multiplication
The D is for division
The A is for addition
The S is for subtraction
The first thing you do is what is inside the parenthesis -3+2 which = -1
then ^2 the -1 and it is 1
and then multiply it by 5 which gives you an answer of
(5)(1)= 5
So your answer was correct! (Nod)
