Five to the second power + 10.2 times 4-2

Answer: Well, this question is slightly confusing, but I'll try my best here and say it's 71.8

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this equation I followed the order of operations.

5^2 + 10.2 x 4 - 2

25 + 10.2 x 4 - 2 * The first step is to do the exponents.*

25 + 48.8 - 2 * The second step is to do multiplication.*

73.8 - 2 * Finally, you add and subtract everything*

71.8 Is your final answer.

(If I did everything in the correct steps given the question format.

70.4 I think I just did exactly what you said.
