Explanation:

The order of operations is PEMDAS. Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.
First, Parentheses. #[(7-5)^5/8]-4=[(2)^5/8]-4#
Now, Exponents. #[(2)^5/8]-4=[32/8]-4#
Since there is no Multiplication, now Division. #[32/8]-4=4-4#
Since there is no Addition, now Subtraction. #4-4=0#
And 0 is your answer
