tashart: How do I solve this?
3+8 [3+2^3-(5+8)]
Well, you could just use your calculator
Otherwise use PEDMAS
parentheses (brackets)
exponents
division, multiplication (equally important do from left to right)
addition and multiplication (equally important do from left to right)
so you will do 5+8 first
then 2^3
etc
3+8 (3+2^3-(5+8))
