Evaluate 7[32 - 2(1 + 2)] ÷ 7 + 52
..
The general rule is to clear the innermost parenthesis first and within each parenthesis, the order of operations is:exponentials, multiplication or division, addition or subtraction, starting from left to right.
..
7[32 - 2(1 + 2)] ÷ 7 + 52
7[32 - 2 -4] ÷ 7 + 52
7[26] ÷ 7 + 52
182 ÷ 7 + 52
26+52=78
