when they say a number is "to a power" like "5 to the second power" its the same thing as 52 read "5 squared" to solve this all you have to do is 5x5=25. if you have "3 to the fourth power" you would do 34 which is the same as 3x3x3x3=81.
20 to the second power is more commonly known as 202 or 20 squared. Squaring is calculated by taking two of the number and multiplying them together. In this case, 20x20=400 and so 20 to the 2nd power is 400.
Solve the exponent first and then subtract it! Ex 5 to the 2 power-20 5 to the 2power = 25-20=5!!
