I guess the proper representation is (29² + 29)/29

If that is the case,
  • # (29² + 29)/29
    = (29*29 + 29)/29 ......... Writing 29² as 29*29
    = 29*(29 + 1)/29 .......... Taking 29 out of the bracket as a common factor
    = 30
The correct answer is E.

If the question is 29^2+(29/29)= (29^2) + 1 = Answer = 842

If the question is (29^2+29)/29= (29*(29+1))/29 = Answer = 30

If the question is 29^(2+29)/29= = Answer = 29^30
