mathmale · Answer

Order of Operations rules apply here.  You MUST do the work shown within parentheses first.  Would you do that now and share what you 've done?  Not just the answer, but the actual work.

Good for you.  Now, why not go back and review Order of Operations Rules, so that next time you'll know how to solve problems like this one yourself.
