Asked by ms kay
I need need help with this math problem. I need to know do I start from left to right with the parentheses or brackets first.
(15-5)/[(12/2*2)-2]
Brackets first Work from the outside in.
When you wrote 12/2*2, it is not clear whether you mean 12/(2*2) or (12/2)*2.
If you meant 12/(2*2), then that = 3, and the answer is
10/(3-2) = 10/1 = 10
I doubled checked and is listed as this: (15-5)/[(12/2*2)-2]
My comment stands. What you wrote is ambiguous
