The answers are 28 because 2 to the 3rd is 8. 8 times 3 is 24. 24 + 4 is 28 The next answer is 8 because 4 to the 2nd is 16. 16 divided by 2 is 8 Then the answer is Darren because Barb did not add the 4 Then I don't know #8 Then #9 is around the 5 - 2 because that would make it 4+3 to the second x (5-2) you evaluate by doing 5-2 first because they are in parenthesis which is 3.That makes the equation 4 + 3 to the second x 3 .Then you do 3 to the second because it is an exponent that is 9. Which makes the equation 4+9x3. Then you multiply. So you multiply 9 x 3 to get 27. Which leaves you with 4+27 and because there is no division or subtraction you add 4 and 27 to get 31.
