Question 95724: I am a bit confused on evaluating a problem with a radical in it:
2^3-[10+4 sqrt[25-9]]+30-17
I'm not sure about how to handle(((10+4 sqrt 25-9)))
Do I subtract 9 from 25 then find the sqrt? and I'm not sure what function after the 10+4

2^3-[10+4 sqrt[25-9]]+30-17
= 8-[10 + 4*4] + 30 -17
= 8 - [10 + 16] + 13
= 8 - [26] + 13
= 8 + 13 - 26
= -5
