The problem:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4x5-3x4^2/6-8x2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "OK, I think that basically we are required to simplify the expression but I'm not exactly sure what the expression is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "is it:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(4)x(5)-(((3)x(4^2))/6)-(8)x(2) if so, lets take each term by itself and simplify it, then we'll put the terms back together:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(4)x(5)=20
\n" ); document.write( "4^2=16
\n" ); document.write( "(3)x(4^2)=48
\n" ); document.write( "48/6=8
\n" ); document.write( "(8)x(2)=16\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Putting it back together, we have:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "20-8-16=20-24=-4\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "or is the problem this:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "((4)x(5)-(((3)x(4^2))/(6-(8)x(2)) If so, lets get the individual terms that we have already generated and put them back using this layout:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(20-48)/(6-16)=
\n" ); document.write( "-28/-10=14/5\r
