Do not just give me the answer, walk me through it. I am literally so shallow minded when it comes to Algebra and I am trying really hard to understand it.
I am assuming that (7 + 4)2 means (7 + 4)^2. The 2 is an exponent.
You must follow the correct order of operations. PEMDAS P - parentheses first E - then Exponents MD - then Multiplications and Divisions in the order they appear from left to right AS - then Additions and Subtractions in the order they appear from left to right
3(7 + 4)^2 − 14 ÷ 7
Parentheses first: 3(11)^2 - 14 ÷ 7
Now the exponent: 3(121) - 14 ÷ 7
Now multiplications and division from left to right: 363 - 2
Finally additions and subtractions from left to right: 361
