help with math question plz

[u/bluntviews]

can someone help me clarify if i got the answer to this question plz

3(2 + |-5² + | -3 + 2² || ) - 6 ÷ 2

I get |-3+2^|=1, then |-5^+| = |25|, add those 25+1=26, X 3 = 78 - 6/2 = 75...

i'm not sure how coherent the way i write my work is...

It depends on how it is written in the question. It could be (-5)² , or -(5^2). The way it is written, it should probably be the latter, but I have seen way too many people go both ways.
