order of operations tells us to evaluate the expression from left to right doing multiplication and division first, note that parenthesis say \"do me first\"
\n" ); document.write( "2(4-7)/2(3-8)+5(-2-3)(4-6)
\n" ); document.write( "2*(-3)/2*5+5*(-5)*(-2) note that \"*\" means multiply
\n" ); document.write( "-6/2*5+50
\n" ); document.write( "-3*5+50
\n" ); document.write( "-15+50
\n" ); document.write( "35\r
