Answer:

the answer is
27

Explanation:

First, you need to substitute a, b, and c for their sums

So your new problem should look like this...
2+\left(3-\left(-2\right)\right)^2

Then you can begin solving this problem using PEMDAS

So first you're going to start w/ the parenthesis...
3-\left(-2\right) which equals 5

Next, you're going to calculate the exponents, so it should look like this...
5^(2) which equals
25

So now your problem should look like this...
5+25 which equals
27

So your answer is
27

hope this helps!

(Try using Symbolab, I use it all the time it gives the correct answer and it gives good explanations.)
