Evaluate multi-step numerical expressions using order of operations, including grouping symbols and exponents.
Evaluate with exponents
Problem
Evaluate \(3~+~2^3~\times~4\).
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
The exponent has the highest priority here and represents repeated multiplication of its base. We’ll evaluate that power, substitute its value without changing the surrounding expression, then multiply before adding. Each rewrite removes one operation while keeping the rest in place.
