Question

what does double parenthesis mean.. exp:
((46-15)x32)+5

Answer 1

the double parenthesis means do that part of the equation first. so 46-15 first... then multiply it by 32 then add 5

Answer 2

It means compute the innermost parentheses first. 46 - 15 resides inside the innermost parentheses...so definitely do those first.

Answer 3

Then after you do that computation, you don't need the innermost parentheses anymore

Answer 4

so it becomes: (31*32) + 5

Answer 5

Any questions?
