Can someone help please??

Answer 1

○ D. 29

Explanation:

According to the Order of Operations [GEMS\BOMDAS\PEMDAS etc.], evaluate all expressions inside grouping symbols, take care of the exponents, indices, roots, etcetera, evaluate Division & Multiplication from left to right, then evaluate Subtraction & Addition from right to left [or left to right, as long as you know what you are doing correctly]:

`(5 + 1)^(2) - (12 + {3}^(2)) / 3 = {6}^(2) - (12 + 9) / 3 = \\ \\ 36 - 21 / 3 = 36 - 7 = 29`

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
