Answer:

25

Explanation:

In this it's going to be pretty simple.


b^(2) is going to be -3 * -3 = 9

When you have a square you multiply the number by itself.

So

9 - 4 * 1 * -4

here you have to remember order of operations.

Please - Parens

Excuse - Exponents

My - Multiplication

Dear - Division

Aunt - Addition

Sally - Subtraction.

Multiplication and Division are done at the same time left to right

Addition and Subtraction are done at the same time left to right.

So

9 - 4 * 1 * -4

You do the multiplication first.

4*1 = 4

4 * -4 = -16

Now you have

9 - - 16

This turns into

9 + 16

your answer is 25.
