anonymous · Answer

i worked it out got 10

anonymous · Answer

Parenthesis first followed by {} then solve.
$$3-5{-5(7-7)-2(5-3)} $$ so -2(5-3)=-4 so then -5(7-7)=0 then -5{-4}=20 then 3+20=23 So your answer is 23.

i reworked it and made sure i did symbols first thats were i messed up.  thank you i didt work from left to right.  i got 23 when i did it right

anonymous · Answer

Yeah always start on the inside. I did the ( ) to the right first and then did the one to the left which cancelled out the ( ) to the left which narrowed it down. I think all you were forgetting to do was to distribute to get rid of the {( )}.

anonymous · Answer

yes i didnt multiply the 5 from the (7-7) and the 2 (5-3)
