Answer 1

Answer:

31

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate following the order set out in the acronym PEMDAS

That is parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction

Given

(5 + 1)² - (11 + 3² ) ÷ 4

= 6² - (11 + 9) ÷ 4

= 36 - 20 ÷ 4 ← division before subtraction

= 36 - 5

= 31
