For this equation, I used the order of operations- (PEMDAS).
No parentheses, but the 2 above the 2 is an exponent, so I did 2 • 2 which = 4
(New equation is now, 8 •/• 4 + 1)
Next step is multiplication which there is none, so we move on to division. 8 •/• by 4 = 2
(New equation is now, 2 + 1) Next would be subtraction but again there is none, so last is addition. 2 + 1 = 3
Your final answer is 3
