Sure! Let's simplify the given expression step-by-step: [tex]\((2+3)^2 + 8 \div 2\)[/tex].
1. Evaluate the expression inside the parentheses:
[tex]\[
2 + 3 = 5
\][/tex]
2. Raise the result to the power of 2:
[tex]\[
5^2 = 25
\][/tex]
3. Divide 8 by 2:
[tex]\[
8 \div 2 = 4
\][/tex]
4. Add the results from step 2 and step 3:
[tex]\[
25 + 4 = 29
\][/tex]
So, the simplified expression [tex]\((2+3)^2 + 8 \div 2\)[/tex] results in [tex]\(29\)[/tex].
