To solve this expression, we need to follow the order of operations, which is often remembered using the acronym PEMDAS:
P - Parentheses (simplify expressions inside parentheses first) E - Exponents (perform any exponentiation) MD - Multiplication and Division (from left to right) AS - Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
In this case, we need to simplify the expression inside the parentheses first:
8 + 300 = 308
Now we can add this result to the 400:
400 + 308 = 708
Therefore, the answer is 708.
