Answer:

6

Explanation:

The trick here is to know PEMDAS.

PEMDAS stands for: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.

This is the order in which you should simplify a problem.

Parentheses:

(5 + 1)^2 - (11 + 32) + 4

(6)^2 - (43) + 4

Exponents:

(6)^2 - (43) + 4

36 - 34 + 4

We have no multiplication or division, so we can skip those steps.

Addition:

36 - 34 + 4

40 - 34

Subtraction:

40 - 34

6

So 6 is our answer.
