Question

How is this not 6 I'm confused

Answer 1

3 is being squared that is an exponet

so the times its self 2 times

3*3=9

so the problem would become:

5+9-7+1

Answer 2

Answer:

Your answer is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Have you heard of PEMDAS?

P = Parenthesis

E = Exponent

M = Multiplication

D = Division

A = Addition

S = Subtraction

You do this in order from left to right. So...

5 + 3squared - 7 + 1         - First you do 3squared

5 + 9 - 7 + 1                       - Now you add 5 and 9

14 - 7 + 1                             - Subtract 14 and 7

7 + 1

= 8

Hope this helps! If so, Brainliest? :)
