Question

Which expression is equivalent to (3−22)+5?

All the Second 2s are exponent

5−22

22−5

5−32

​32−5​

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

First off, lets simplify (3-2^2)+5 = -1+5 = 4

We will need to find an expression that will equal to 4

lets try 1, 5-2^2 = 1, 1 =\ 4

Alright, lets try 2, 2^2 -5 = -1, -1=\5

Now lets try 3, 5 - 3^2 = -4, -4=\4

So by process of elimination we can say that D is correct by I will show you why it is correct. 3^2 -5 = 4, 4=4

If you have any questions ask me.

Hope it helped :)
