Is the expression 9%285%2B2%2F3%29 ??? If so, then....


9%285%2B2%2F3%29 Start with the given expression


9%285%29%2B9%282%2F3%29 Distribute


45%2B18%2F3 Multiply


45%2B6 Reduce


51 Add


So 9%285%2B2%2F3%29=51


--------------------------------------------------------

OR...


Is the expression 9%285-2%2F3%29 ??? If so, then....


9%285-2%2F3%29 Start with the given expression


9%285%29-9%282%2F3%29 Distribute


45-18%2F3 Multiply


45-6 Reduce


39 Subtract


So 9%285-2%2F3%29=39
