D. 13
the 23 is an exponent it is 2 then 3 plz help me!!!
uhh ok thx!!
i am confused
what is the answer
so what is it 50
Online, “*” is used to indicate multiplication to avoid confusion with “x” as an unknown.
From the way you wrote the equation, 23 is not an exponent.
Assuming you have a typo, C is the closest answer.
5 + 8 * 2
5 + 16
The exponent of a number says how many times to use the number in a multiplication. In 82 the "2" says to use 8 twice in a multiplication, so 8^2 = 8 * 8 = 64 In words: 8^2 could be called "8 to the power 2" or "8 to the second power", or simply "8 squared"
ah
5 + 2^3 * 2
exponent first
5 + 8 * 2
then multiplication
5 + 16
then add
21
