Actually Welcome to the Concept of the Indices and BODMASS rule,

according to the BODMASS rule, we must always give high priority to the, parentheses "()" ,hence we will solve the bracket index powers first,

this we get as

hence, the above option is 2.) is correct.

77

step-by-step explanation:

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
