I can't figure out how the answer to {3+2[4(2*8)]+6} would be 137. I got like 364 or something crazy like that, or 75. obviously I don't understand the order you follow with multiple groupings. Can you show me step by step so I can figure out where i am messing up.
--------
Work from the inside to the outside.
---
{3+2[4(2*8)]+6}
---
= {3+2[4(16)]+6}
----
= {3+2[64]+6}
----
= {3+2[64]+6}
----
= {3+128+6}
-----
= 137
