(3^2+(8/4+4^2))

Could you please help me with this problem???

(3^2 + (8/4 + 4^2))

Parenthesis first:

(8/4 + 4^2)

8/4 = 2
4^2 = 16

Now add the totals.

(2 + 16) = (18)

Now you should have:

(3^2 + (18))

Now solve 3^2:

3^2 = 9

Now you should have:

(9 + (18))

Now add the two numbers.

9 + 18 = 27

So, 27 is the answer.

I hope this helps! :)

Thanks

You're welcome, Amy. :)

Of course! Let's break down the problem step by step:

Step 1: Simplify the expression inside the innermost parentheses.
In this case, inside the parentheses, we have the addition operation with two numbers: (8/4 + 4^2).

Step 2: Simplify any exponentiation operations.
Next, we need to simplify the term 4^2, which means we need to square the number 4.
4^2 = 4 * 4 = 16.

Step 3: Perform any remaining operations from left to right.
Now that we have the result of 4^2, we can continue simplifying the expression inside the parentheses.
8/4 = 2.

Step 4: Evaluate the addition operation.
Now we have (2 + 16) inside the parentheses.
2 + 16 = 18.

Step 5: Evaluate the exponentiation operation, if any.
Finally, we need to square 3 in the expression 3^2.
3^2 = 3 * 3 = 9.

Step 6: Perform the remaining addition operation.
Now we have 9 + 18.
9 + 18 = 27.

So the final answer is 27.
