Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is what I did to arrive at my answer:
((9 - 5)^2 – 1) + 3
Use PEMDAS for this:
First, calculate what is in the parenthesis
(9-5)
=4
and you are left with
4^2-1
Next is exponents...
4^2 = 4 · 4
=16 - 1
Now substract
=15
Then add
15 + 3 = 18
There you have it! The answer is D, 18.
I hope this helps :)
