How do i put in parentheses to make 8+36÷2+4 to the power of 2 equal 38

Answer 1

Here your going to want to employ PEMDAS, or how I like to remember it, Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally. So you want to make sure your order of operations follow this system, Parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition and then subtraction. So by following this (seeing that your job is the parenthesis) we'd get (8(36/2)+4)=38
