You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(2 - 3)3 + 6 ÷ 3 + (8 - 5)2
Well, you have to do exponents first so.. And when you have an exponent like the one you have, you have to distribute it, like (2+3)^3 would be 2^3 + 3^3
12-27+6 ÷ 3 + 64 - 25
then you must divide and/or multiply
12-27+2+64-25
Next, you just solve from left to right.
26 is ur final answer.
Hope that helps!
