Answer:
212
Step-by-step explanation:
starting with (xy)
you first plug in x=2 and y=3
(2×3) = 6
then we add in the exponent of 3
6^3 = 216
this is because an exponent shows you how many times the number is multiple by itself (6×6×6)
next we work on x^4 by plugging in x=2
2^4=16
2×2×2×2
we do the same for x^2
2^2=4
2×2
next we do the division
16/4=4
finally we take the 216 and 4 and do the subtraction
216-4=212
