can sumbody help me with the steps to this math problem?
Evaluate: 9 + (8-2)^2 x 20 / 5
9 + (8-2)^2 x 20 / 5
9 + 36 * 20/5
9 + 36 * 4 = ??
Here's a good explanation of the order of operations and how to remember them -- for your future problems -- using PEMDAS as a mnemonic:

oh i thought it went like this:
9+(8-2)^2x20/5
9+6^2*20/5
9+36*20/5
9+720/5
9+144=153
u c, my math teacher told me to do it in these steps:
1)do all parantheses first
2)exponents next
3)do all multiplication and division, IN ORDER FROM LEFT TO RIGHT
4)do all addition and subtraction, IN ORDER FROM LEFT TO RIGHT
my math teacher told me not to:
1)do all parantheses
2)exponents next
3)do all multiplication and division, IN ORDER FROM LEFT TO RIGHT
4) do all addition and subtraction, IN ORDER FROM LEFT TO RIGHT
those are the steps i m supposed to use, i just wanted to make sure
Of course! I can help you with the steps to evaluate the given math problem. Let's break it down step by step:
Step 1: Start by evaluating the expression inside the parentheses.
(8-2) = 6
Step 2: Next, raise the result of the previous step to the power of 2.
6^2 = 36
Step 3: Multiply the result from Step 2 by 20.
36 x 20 = 720
Step 4: Divide the result from Step 3 by 5.
720 / 5 = 144
Step 5: Finally, add 9 to the result from Step 4.
144 + 9 = 153
Therefore, the value of the given expression is 153.
