What is 8 - (8)/(2) + 7^(2)

Question

What is 8 -
`(8)/(2)` +
`7^(2)`

Answer 1

53

Step-by-step explanation

8 - 8/2 (this is a fraction) is also known as

8-4 because 8 divided by 2 is 4

so 8-4 = 4

next 4 + 7^2

why is the 2 in the air????

so that's called an exponent, in this case the two means 7 x 7, it is multiplying by itself, thats the essence of exponents. I can do this for exponent 3,4,5,6,7 and so forth. Anyways, 7^2 or 7x7=49

Knowing this its now 4+49= 53

Answer 2

ANSWER:
54

Step-by-step explanation:
8-8/2 is 4. 7 squared is 49.
