What is the value of the expression (5 to the power of 2-3)times4+1

Answer 1

at first it seems like 5^(2-3) times (4+1)

= 1/5 times 5 = 1

BUT PEMDAS, the order of operations, would say

(5^2 -3 times 4) +1 = (25-3)4 +1 = 89

parentheses 1st, exponents next, multiplication 3rd, addition, subtraction last

depends on how accurately you copied the problem
