There are different ways that your expression could be interpretted but I think your original probably looks like this--> $\"%283%285-1%29%5E3%2B16%29%2F%284%2B%286-3%29%5E2%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solution:
\n" ); document.write( "Start by clearing the internal parentheses--> $\"5-1=4\"$ and $\"6-3+=3\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now rewrite the expression--> $\"%283%284%29%5E3%2B16%29%2F%284%2B%283%29%5E2%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Next, clear the exponents--> $\"4%5E3+=+4%2A4%2A4+=+64\"$ and $\"3%5E2+=+3%2A3=9\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Rewrite the expression using the new values--> $\"%283%2864%29%2B16%29%2F%284%2B9%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Do the multiplication in the numerator--> $\"3%2A64=192\"$ and rewite--> $\"%28192%2B16%29%2F%284%2B9%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now add $\"192%2B16+=+208\"$ and $\"4%2B9=13\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Rewrite the expression--> $\"208%2F13\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Perform the final division--> $\"208%2F13+=+16\"$ The answer is 16. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
