(13=3x(8=2)7^2

put in simplest form

I have never seen a problem in which the equal sign is in parenthesis.  Could you check the problem again and make sure that you didn't have a typo or are missing part of the problem.

Louis,


There are a couple of concerns with the way that you typed the problem, since there is a missing parenthesis and the presence of two equal signs. I am sure that you meant the equal signs to be plus signs, so I will attempt to address the question.

 

If the problem is:                  (13+3x(8+2))7^2

Simply from inside first:        (13+3x(10))7^2

Distribute the 10:                 (13+30x)7^2

Simplify the exponent:          (13+30x)49

Distribute:                            637 + 1470x
