Explanation:

Evaluate #(2+3)+3^2-(4*2)/2+1#

Consider the acronym PEMDAS:

Parentheses
Exponents

Multiplication
Division

Addition
Subtraction

Using the order of operations, we begin with parentheses and exponents from left to right:
#(2+3)+3^2-(4*2)/2+1#
#=5+9-8/2+1#

Now, we move onto multiplication and division from left to right:
#=5+9-4+1#

Finally, we can do the addition and subtraction:
#=14-4+1#
#=10+1#
#=11#
