PEMDAS - Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction
First, we do the exponents.
5² - 4 · 6 + 11
= 25 - 4 · 6 + 11
Next, multiplication (according to PEMDAS).
= 25 - 24 + 11
Although PEMDAS says addition then do subtraction, please note that this is totally interchangeable. For the sake of this problem, subtraction will be done first.
= 25 - 24 + 11
= 1 + 11
Finally, addition.
= 12
This is your answer. Happy studying~
