Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Following the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), first solve the expressions in parentheses: $ (4-3) = 1 $ and $ (3+2) = 5 $. Then, multiply these results: $ 1 \times 5 = 5 $. Next, solve the exponent: $ 7^2 = 49 $. Finally, subtract the exponent result from the multiplication result: $ 5 - 49 = -44 $.
