Is this supposed to be basically 'parsing' it? Well take it piece by piece, following order of operations. First, let's go left-to-right, considering the first expression bounded in parentheses, $x+xy$. First, we'd have to multiply $x$ and $y$, and then we *add* this result with $x$, yielding a expression tree that looks like:|dw:1371011789500:dw|
