Answer 4

\[\Large\rm (10-6)[\color{orangered}{(5 + 2)} + 3]\]Innermost brackets first :)

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

Lots of brackets in this one :o can get a little tricky.

Answer 7

5+3 is 8

Answer 8

Well, we would like to do the orange part first, since that's how they applied the brackets.

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

5 + 2 is 7, yes? :)\[\Large\rm (10-6)[\color{orangered}{(5 + 2)} + 3]\]\[\Large\rm (10-6)[\color{orangered}{(7)} + 3]\]So we dealt with that first set of brackets, we'll drop them.\[\Large\rm (10-6)[7+3]\]

Answer 11

Keep in mind, there is NO DIFFERENCE between round and square brackets.
We just use different shapes sometimes.

Answer 12

ok

Answer 13

\[\Large\rm \color{orangered}{(10-6)}[7+3]\]Then how bout this set of brackets? c:

Answer 14

10-6 is 4

Answer 15

\[\Large\rm \color{orangered}{(4)}[7+3]\]Ok good!\[\Large\rm (4)\color{orangered}{[7+3]}\]How bout these brackets?

Answer 16

7+3 is 10

Answer 17

\[\Large\rm (4)\color{orangered}{[10]}\]Good good good c:\[\Large\rm (4)[10]\]This last operation is multiplication.
That's what it means when you have brackets touching, or touching a number.

Answer 18

4*10 is 40

Answer 24

\[\Large\rm 3 \times (5 + 9) \div 7-6\]Hmm so what operation should we prioritize?
Which is most important?
