You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you should use * to indicate multiplication rather than x.
\n" ); document.write( "this avoids confusion between a variable called x and the multiplication symbol.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "your expression is 3*6 + 3*2 + 4\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "without parentheses this becomes 18 + 6 + 4 which is equal to 28.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "place the parentheses as shown below and it will be equal to 48 as desired.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3 * (6 + 3*2 + 4)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the expression inside the parentheses becomes:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6 + 6 + 4 which becomes 12 + 4 which becomes 16.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3 * 16 = 48.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
