The rules of operations states that we deal with parentheses first. So, inside the parentheses, we have, 2 times 3. Multiply that. That gives us 6. So now, the equation looks like this:
(6)^2 + 5^2
Now we have to work with the exponents. So, square both numbers.
(6)^2 = 36
5^2 = 25
Now we have:
36 + 25
Now we add. 36 + 25 = 61
61 is your answer.
