2x (300-40divided by 5) -[3*23-(8-2*3)]
I have done this 8 times and just can't seem to come up with the answer.

2x600-8=592 - 69-18=51 I come qith 541
Please someone help me out just tell me what I'm doing wrong.


I have come up with this also
2x 277-15=539 I am so lost:confused:

You just need to remember the order that operations are to be performed.

2\(300-40\div5\) - [3\times 23 - (8-2\times3)]

Is that it?

Multiplication and division come before addition and subtraction. We're working within the brackets, so that is okay.

2\(300-8\) - [69 - (8-6)]

Now that there are only brackets to work with, we do what there is in brackets.

2\(292\) - [69 - 2]

And the last operations:

584 - 67

517

For the next one:

2\times600-8

Multiply first!

And for the last one:

2\times 277 -15

That's good! :)
