We have to use the order of operations to solve this equation.
Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction
The equation:
(2+1)²
So first, let's do 2+1, since it's in parentheses and you have to do parentheses first in the order of operations.
2+1 = 3
Now all we have left is:
3²
Then exponents:
3² = 9
The answer is 9.
