Question 668040
In math there is an order in which functions are done..

parathesis
exponentals
multiplication/division
addition/subtraction

so:

(5+4)2+[14/(6/3)-2(7-9)]-8x2=
(9)2 + [14/2 - 2(-2)] -16 =
18 + [7-(-4)] - 16
18 + 11 - 16
29-16
13

So your answer is 13.

Just take each part of the equation and slowly solve it.  It will be much easier that way
