1224

Explanation:

You want to follow BEDMAS (Bracket, exponent, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction)

From BEDMAS, we start by dealing with the numbers in the bracket

2^2 * 3(10^2+3-1) 223(102+31)

2^2 * 3( 100+3-1)223(100+31)

2^2*3(102)223(102)

2^2*30622306

Now let's deal with the exponents so we can multiply the numbers together

4 *306 4306

=1224=1224

Explanation:

This is all one term, but there are several operations and they have to be done in the correct order. However, we can do more than one operation at a time.

Before you can calculate an answer for the bracket, there is a power to be simplified inside the bracket.

" "color(blue)(2^2) xx3(color(blue)(10^2)+3-1) 22×3(102+31)
" "darrcolor(white)(xxx)darr ×x
=color(blue)(4) xx3(color(blue)(100)+3-1)=4×3(100+31)

=color(red)(4 xx3)(color(forestgreen)(100+3-1))=4×3(100+31)
" "color(red)(darr)color(white)(xxxxx)color(forestgreen)(darr) ××x
=""color(red)(12)xx" "(color(forestgreen)(102))=12× (102)

=1224=1224
