Since there are parenthesis, you have to do the calculation inside of that

(Also, the negative sign takes over in this part of the question)

-4 - 3 = -7

Now, you have to times the answer you just got to 2^2 which is 4

-7 * 4 = -28

As the final step, you have to add -28 to -1

-28 - 1 = -29

Thus, the answer is -29    Choice D

When doing problems like this, remember the PE part of PEMDAS.

Parentheses

Exponents

You have to do parentheses first. Then exponents.

[tex](-4 + -3) = -7[/tex]

Next, find the value of 2 squared, then multiply the previous sum by 2 squared, also the term for the number times itself.

[tex]2^2[/tex] [tex]= 4[/tex]

[tex]-7 * 4 = -28[/tex]

Now, subtract by -1

[tex]-28 - 1 = -29[/tex]

With that information, the problem is now solved! Your final answer is -29
