here is another problem from a worksheet
order of operations is confusing. 

5{[15(8^2 - 24)/12]} - 6^3

We follow the PEmatrix%282%2C1%2CM%2CD%29matrix%282%2C1%2CA%2CS%29
order of operations.  Only do one thing at a time.

5{[15(8^2 - 24)/12]} - 6^3
5{[15( 64 - 24)/12]} - 6^3
5{[15(      40)/12]} - 6^3
5{[         600/12]} - 6^3
5{[             50]} - 6^3
5{               50} - 6^3
                 250 - 6^3
                 250 - 216
                        34
