As in every algebraic problem, use PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction). Answer whatever is in the parenthesis first.

For Example:

(6+6)*2 = ?

(12)*2 = ?

12*2 = ?

? = 24

To answer your question, calculate the contents of the innermost pair of parentheses first, and work your way to the outside a step at a time.

Example: [2 x 3 ÷ (7 - 4) + (15 - 5)] ÷ 2 + 8 =

[2 x 3 ÷ 3 + 10] ÷ 2 + 8 =

[2 + 10] ÷ 2 + 8 =

12 ÷ 2 + 8 =

6 + 8 =
