Answer:
(5+6)^2-((15)/(5) ) and solved is 118

Explanation:

Finding the sum of 5 and 6 indicates the addition

5+6

It then says raise it to the power of two so let's put it in parenthesis so it can be solved before raising it to the power of two


(5+6)^2

The quotient of 15 and 5 indicates division so we can put that in its own parenthesis too and then subtract it when solved.


(5+6)^2-((15)/(5) )

If you need to solve start by solving the parenthesis


(5+6)^2-((15)/(5) )\\ (11)^2-(3)

then raise 11 to the power of 2

121-3

finally, subtract

118
