Question 391366: We are suppose to solve another classmates problem and I chose this one 10/1x2+5-(9+3)^2 however what I came up doesn't seem right. I don't want to say anything until I am sure. This is how I solved it and perhaps I'm wrong but it just doesn't seem right. Please advise. Thank you.
10/1x2+5-(9+3)^2
10/1x2+5-12^2
10/1x2+5-144
10x2+5-144
20+5-144
25-144
