You can put this solution on YOUR website!
It seems like you almost have it. Remember to always solve the inside of the ( ) first, which you have done. However, if there is a mult. sign in front of the () you must mult. first before you add the last number.
\n" ); document.write( "lets do one side of the - at a time ok?
\n" ); document.write( "the first side is
\n" ); document.write( "(7(8-2)+9)
\n" ); document.write( "(7(6)+9) you must mult. the 7 and the 6 then add the 9 for the correct order
\n" ); document.write( " of operations.
\n" ); document.write( "7*6+9=51
\n" ); document.write( "so the first side of you equation is now 51. For the second side you have
\n" ); document.write( "(13-2)(11-6) the way you have it written, the whole problem is divided by 1.
\n" ); document.write( "11*5=55\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so now you have the following when you put them together.
\n" ); document.write( "51-55/1
\n" ); document.write( "-4/1
\n" ); document.write( "-4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "is this the answer you were looking for? You have it, you just need to remember your order of operations. OK.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
