Equation: \(5+[13+(-5)]+(-7)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you please explain

OpenStudy (ahsome):

That is the equation you gave me: \[5+[13+(-5)]+(-7)\] First, the brackets for \(-7\) are not needed, so remove them to make it easier \[5+[13+(-5)]-7\] Second, the brackets for \(-5\) are not need, so remove them. Then, convert the "[]" brackets to "()" Remove the brackets: \[5+[13-5]-7\] Change "[]" to "()" \[5+(13-5)-7\] Solve brackets first \[5+8-7\] Solve: \[5+8-7=6\] TADA
