Question 594282: The equation is written incorrectly. I need to rewrite by inserting 1 group of parentheses in the equation to obtain the given anwer. I must follow the order of operations.
-5�+3�= 34
They both have 2s as exponents. I'm sorry I didn't know how to write the. I always get -34 as my answer. But it is supposed to be a positive 34. Thank you for your assistance.

   -5�   +    3�  = 34

Put the parentheses around the -5

  (-5)�  +    3�  = 34

(-5)(-5) + (3)(3) = 34

   25    +    9   = 34
