Question

Simplify 2^2[4+(3-6)^2]-13

Answer 1

Answer:

It's 19.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use order of operations (PEMDAS):

2^2[4+(3-6)^2]-13

Parentheses first:

= 2^2[4 + (-2)^2] - 13

= 2^2 ( 4 + 4) - 13

=  2^2 * 8 - 13

Now work out the exponent:

= 4*8 - 13

Now the multiplication:

= 32 - 13

= 19.
