Does your expression look like this: -15%2B6%2F3 ?


-15%2B6%2F3 Start with the given expression



-15%2B2 Divide 6 and 3 to get 2 (ie 6%2F3=2)



-13 Add -15 and 2 to get -13 (ie -15%2B2=-13)




So -15%2B6%2F3=-13




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

Does your expression look like this: %28-15%2B6%29%2F3 ?

%28-15%2B6%29%2F3 Start with the given expression



-9%2F3 Add -15 and 6 to get -9 (ie -15%2B6=-9)



-3 Divide -9 and 3 to get -3 (ie -9%2F3=-3)




So %28-15%2B6%29%2F3=-3
