The line in the middle of the triangle divides it into two triangles. These two triangles are equal. You can see this because the given angle (90°) is equal for both sides, and the bottom sides (23) are also equal to each other.
Since the triangles are equal, this means that the given angle of 75° also applies to the other side. The total degrees a triangle can have is 180°. Use the given angles to solve for the unknown angle.
1) Distribute the exponent outside of the parentheses to the terms inside the parentheses. In this case, multiply the 3 outside the parentheses with the exponent of each of the terms inside:

2) The variables are fine - you can't simplify them further. All you need to do now is multiply the out. Remember that it's kind of like asking, "what is 4 × 4 ×4?"
