take care of the parenthesis first
:
9-4(5)+10+2....now multiplication 4(5)
:
9-20+10+2....now addition and subtraction
:
highlight%28-1%29

Expand and simplify:
use FOIL (First, Outside, Inside Last)
9%2A8=72
9%2A-3=-27
-4%2A8=-32
-4%2A-3=12
you then have:72-27-32%2B12%2B10%2B2
Which then equals 37

Do the stuff in the parentheses first, then do any multiplications, and finally do the rest of the additions.
