You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Given: 2%5E5+%2B+2%5E4+-+14
With a calulator, this is simple. Just enter (2 x^y key 5) - (2x^y key 4) - 14
To do it on paper, you can always expand
2%5E5+%2B+2%5E4+-+14
2%2A2%2A2%2A2%2A2+-+2%2A2%2A2%2A2+-+14
4%2A4%2A2+-+4%2A4+-+14
16%2A2+-+16+-+14
32+-+16+-+14
16-14
