Simplify the following:
15+32/8×7-80/(22-(10-8)×2+14-(1)/5×4)

(-1)/5×4 = (-4)/5:
15+32/8×7-80/(22-(10-8)×2+14+(-4)/5)

32/8×7 = (32×7)/8:
15+(32×7)/8-80/(22-(10-8)×2+14-(4)/5)

32/8 = (8×4)/8 = 4:
15+4×7-80/(22-(10-8)×2+14-(4)/5)

10-8 = 2:
15+4×7-80/(22-2×2+14-(4)/5)

-2×2  =  -4:
15+4×7-80/(22+-4+14-(4)/5)

Put 22-4+14-4/5 over the common denominator 5. 22-4+14-4/5  =  (5×22)/5+(5 (-4))/5+(5×14)/5-4/5:
15+4×7-80/(5×22)/5+(5 (-4))/5+(5×14)/5-4/5

5×22  =  110:
15+4×7-80/(110/5+(5 (-4))/5+(5×14)/5-4/5)

5 (-4)  =  -20:
15+4×7-80/(110/5+-20/5+(5×14)/5-4/5)

5×14  =  70:
15+4×7-80/(110/5-20/5+70/5-4/5)

110/5-(20)/5+70/5-(4)/5  =  (110-20+70-4)/5:
15+4×7-80/(110-20+70-4)/5

110-20+70-4 = (110+70)-(20+4):
15+4×7-80/((110+70)-(20+4)/5)

20+4 = 24:

15+4×7-80/(156/5)

Multiply the numerator of -80/(156/5) by the reciprocal of the denominator. -80/(156/5) = (-80×5)/156:
15+4×7+(-80×5)/156

The gcd of -80 and 156 is 4, so (-80×5)/156 = ((4 (-20)) 5)/(4×39) = 4/4×(-20×5)/39 = (-20×5)/39:
15+4×7+(-20×5)/39

-20×5  =  -100:
15+4×7+-100/39

4×7  =  28:
15+28-(100)/39

Put 15+28-100/39 over the common denominator 39. 15+28-100/39  =  (39×15)/39+(39×28)/39-100/39:
(39×15)/39+(39×28)/39-100/39

585/39+1092/39-(100)/39  =  (585+1092-100)/39:
(585+1092-100)/39
