A. Subtract 5 from 2.
B. Divide 6 by –3.
C. Add –3 and 4.
D. Multiply 4 and 2.

Answer 1

I think it would be C.

(You can use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction) to know what to do first)

Explanation:

In PEMDAS,The P stands for Parentheses, so, in the equation (-4)²+ 6 ÷ (- 3 + 4) (2) - 5, you would do -3+4 because it is in the parentheses.

Hope this Helps!
