3^2-5

262-5

5-3^2

5-2^2

they both equal 4

Answer 1

Given: ( 3 - 2^2 ) + 5
First we must find the answer for your given equation.
( 3 - 4) + 5 ----> -1 + 5 ------> "4"

3^2-5 = 4
2^2-5 = -1
5-3^2 = -4
5-2^2 = 1

The first answer is equal to four just like our given problem

So your answer is the first one (3^2-5)
