Given:
a = 2
b = 5
c = (-3)

Gives us:


Following the Order of Operations (PEMDAS), since we have no operations inside parenthesis, we deal with the exponent first:
becomes

Next, working from left to right, we do multiplication:
now becomes or

From I'll allow you to do the final two operations and bob's your uncle!
