((11-6)^2+5)-2^2

Is this correct?

25+5-4=26

Yes, 26 is correct. If you solve in the order of PEMDAS, you'll usually get the correct answer.

Thank u for your help

You're welcome! :)

To check if the calculation is correct, we can follow the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS) to evaluate the expression step by step.

1. First, let's calculate the exponent: 11 - 6 = 5. So, (11-6)^2 becomes 5^2.

2. Next, we square 5: 5^2 = 25.

3. Now, let's break down the expression: ((11-6)^2 + 5) - 2^2.

Substituting the previous calculation, it becomes: (25 + 5) - 2^2.

4. We calculate 2^2: 2^2 = 4.

5. Now, let's simplify the expression: (25 + 5) - 4.

6. We handle the addition first: 25 + 5 = 30.

7. Finally, we perform the subtraction: 30 - 4 = 26.

Therefore, the correct answer is indeed 26, confirming your calculation.
