We need to solve the following expression:


70-2(5^2-22)^3+5(-2)

The order of operations is a rule that tells the correct sequence of steps for evaluationf a math expression. We can remember the order using PEMDAS: Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right).

Then, in our expression, we must solve parenthesis first. It yields


\begin{gathered} 70-2(25-22)^3-10 \\ 70-2*3^3-10 \end{gathered}

The next step is to raise exponents,


70-2*27-10

and now, the multiplication step


70-54-10

then, we get 70-64 and the solution is 6.
