EQUATION:

Question

5(3+4)-{8-(9+6)]}

MY WORK:
= 5(7)-{8-[5-(9+6)]}
= 35-{8-[5-(9+6)]}
= 35-{8-[15]}
= 35-{8-[-10]}
= 35- {8+10}
= 35-18
= 17

Answer 1

There is no equation, since there is no = sign. It's just an expression.

The first line in WORK does not match the original expression. From that point on, however, things look good.
