Answer:

129

Explanation:

PEMDAS (parenthesis, exponents, multiplication / division, addition /subtraction.) I will use these as abbreviations.

8^2 + 9 (12/3*2) - 7

P: Start with P, and inside P go left to right with M/D

D: 8^2 + 9 (4*2) - 7

M: 8^2 + 9 (8) - 7

E: The next step is E, so I will do 8^2

64 + 9 (8) - 7

M/D: I will then multiply from left to right

64 + 72 - 7

A/S: Finall I will add and subtract from left to right.

A: 136 - 7

S: 129
