5[6-2(5-3>to the zero power)]

Please help so confused answer = -20 or 100 idk please help !

Is just the 3 to the zero power or the 5-3?

I don't understand your data.

">" means "greater than" and "^" indicates an exponent.

Any value to the zero power = 1

If it is (5-3)^0 = 1 or 3^0 = 1. If the latter:

5[6-2(5-3^0)] = 5[6-2(5-1)] = 5 (6 - 8) = -10

To find the value of the expression 5[6-2(5-3)^0], we need to follow the order of operations, which is commonly referred to as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division from left to right, and Addition and Subtraction from left to right). Let's break it down step by step:

Step 1: Simplify inside the parentheses.
Inside the parentheses, we have (5-3), which equals 2. So, our expression becomes 5[6-2(2)^0].

Step 2: Evaluate the exponent.
Any number raised to the power of zero is always 1. Thus, (2)^0 = 1. Our expression becomes 5[6-2(1)].

Step 3: Continue simplifying, starting from left to right within the brackets.
Now, we need to apply the multiplication inside the brackets. 2 multiplied by 1 is equal to 2. Our expression becomes 5[6-2].

Step 4: Evaluate the remaining subtraction within the brackets.
6 minus 2 equals 4. Our expression becomes 5[4].

Step 5: Perform the multiplication.
5 multiplied by 4 is equal to 20.

Therefore, the final answer is 20 (not -20 or 100).
