Answer 1

I can’t read the expression as typed. Could you retype it using parentheses, / for division, and ^ for exponents? Examples:
- 5 - 3/5^2
- 5 - (3/5)^2
- 5 - (3/5)*2
- 5 - 3*5^2

If helpful, here are values for common interpretations:
- 5 - 3/(5^2) = 5 - 3/25 = 122/25 = 4.88
- 5 - (3/5)^2 = 5 - 9/25 = 116/25 = 4.64
- 5 - (3/5)*2 = 19/5 = 3.8
- 5 - 3*5^2 = -70
- 5 - 3*(5*2) = -25
- 5 - 3 5/2 (if “3 5/2” is a mixed number) = -1/2

Tell me which one matches your problem (or paste the original exactly) and I’ll pick the correct answer.
