Answer:

If the 7 x 2 is in parenthesis then you would do the 7 x 2 first then do 14 by the power of 3. If there is no parenthesis and the power of 3 is hovering next to the 2 then you would do 2 to the power of 3 and then multiply that by 7.

Explanation:

PEMDAS. Whatever is in parenthesis gets solved first, then exponents and so on and so forth.
