5{[15(8^2 - 24)/12]} - 6^3

We follow the 
order of operations.  Only do one thing at a time.

5{[15(8^2 - 24)/12]} - 6^3
5{[15( 64 - 24)/12]} - 6^3
5{[15(      40)/12]} - 6^3
5{[         600/12]} - 6^3
5{[             50]} - 6^3
5{               50} - 6^3
                 250 - 6^3
                 250 - 216
                        34
