100

Explanation:

You must use the order of operation .
If you get hurt in PE call a MD As Soon as possible
( compliments of the students from Carr middle school Santa Ana CA.)

P = parathesis
E = exponents.
MD = Multiplication and Division ( an MD doctor is one person so multiplication and division must be done at the same time from left to right
AS = Addition and Subtraction ( As soon as possible is one time so addition and subtraction must be done at the same time from left to right.
Start with the inter most parenthesis and work outward.

# (9-8)^2 = ( 1)^2 = 1 #
# (12 - 5)^2 = ( 7)^2 = 49 #

putting this values into the expression gives

# 2 ( 1 + 49) = 2 ( 50) = 100#

The answer is 100
