I'm having trouble resolving this order of operations problem.

Parenthesis first
5^2-2*3^2+2(6-3*(4-9))
5^2-2*3^2+2(6-3 *(-5))
make sure you use your order of operation inside the parenthesis also
5^2-2*3^2+2(6-(-15)
5^2-2*3^2+2(25)
now that the parenthesis are done, follow the rest of the order of op
5^2-2*3^2+2(25)
25-2*9+2*25
25-18+50
7+50
57
