Following the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), we first calculate the exponent $5^2 = 25$, then multiply by 20 to get $25 \cdot 20 = 500$, add the negation of -8 to get $+8$, and finally add the initial 25. So, $25 + 500 + 8 = 533$.

Simplify - 25+52⋅20−(−8)25 + 5 ^ { 2 } \cdot 20 - ( - 8 )25+52⋅20−(−8)

Simplify
- $25 + 5 ^ { 2 } \cdot 20 - ( - 8 )$
