You follow PEMDAS. The answer is 142. 9 to the power of 2 is 81 since 9 times 9 equals that. 6 times 9 is 54. 81 plus 54 equals 135. Finally, you have to add 135 and 7 which gives you 142.

Answer: 142

Work steps:
(6x9+9^2)+7
(54+81)+7
135+7
142

Work explained:
St. 1: Multiply 6 by 9 which is 54. This knocks out the first part of the parenthesis, leving you with 54+9^2. (always do parenthesis first because of PEMDAS)
St. 2: Next is to find the 9 to the power of 2. 9×9=81, so 9^2 is 81.
St. 3: Now in your parenthesis you have 54+81. Using simple addition, we get 135, which solves the parenthesis and allows us to move on to the rest of the equation (PEMDAS- solved P, we do not have M or D remaining, so we Add and Subtract moving left to right)
St. 4: Now that the parenthesis are gone we have 135+7. We use simple addition to find 142. This is your final answer.

Helpful way to remember PEMDAS:
My 8th grade pre algebra teacher taught us a song that might be useful to you.
It is to the tune of Row Row Row Your Boat

Song:
Parenthesis exponents multiply devide
Then you add and subtract
Moving left to right

Hope this helps!
