    good luck!


  2. 1. Do what is inside the most inside parentheses

    3+4[13 - 2 (6-3)] = 3+4[ 13 - 2 (3)]

    Multiplication before subtraction in the brackets.

    3+4[ 13 - 2 (3)] = 3+4[ 13 - 6 ]

    Inside brackets again

    3+4 [ 13 - 6] = 3+4 [ 7 ]

    Multiply

    3 + 4[7] = 3+28 = 31

    --

    2. Do inside brackets first.

    5 [ 2 ( 8 + 5 ) - 15 ] = 5 [ 2 ( 13 ) - 15]

    Multiply

    5 [ 2 ( 13 ) - 15 ] = 5 [ 26 - 15 ]

    Simplify bracket

    5 [ 11 ] = 55

    --

    3. Simplify parentheses

    14 / [ 3 ( 8 - 2 ) - 11] = 14 / [ 3 ( 6 ) - 11 ]

    Multiply

    14 / [ 3 ( 6 ) - 11 ] = 14 / [ 18 - 11 ]

    Simplify

    14 / [18 - 11 ] = 14 / [ 7 ]

    14 / 7 = 2

    --

    =)
