:shock: I am learning, but need some help on simplifying this:
-4 - square root[49] + 5^2
 
Re: simplify: (I am new to algebra-help

\(\displaystyle -4 - \sqrt{49} + 5^2\)

\(\displaystyle -\sqrt{49}\) means to find the positive number that when squared produces 49, then subtract that.

\(\displaystyle 5^2\) means to use 5 as a factor two times and display the result.

Then you are in a position to combine the results by adding and/or subtracting the various terms to obtain a final result.

thanks, so I write it like this:
-4-7+25
-11 +25
=14 ?
