Answer 1

Did you work from the inside out?

2*[5*(11-3)]-16

2*[5*8]-16 etc?

64 should be correct.

Answer 2

order of operations (PEMDAS)

u got it right

Answer 3

2 [ 5 (11 - 3) ] - 16 =

2 [ 5(8) ] - 16 =

2 [40] -16 =

80 - 16 = 64

By my calculations, you're right.

(:

Answer 4

64 is correct, use the order of operations

2 [ 5 (11-3) ] - 16

2 [ 5 (8) ] - 16

2 [40] - 16

80 - 16

=64

Answer 5

I get 64, too. First subtract the 3 from 11 to get 8.  Multiply the 8 by 5 to get 40.  Multiply that by 2 to get 80 and then subtract the 16 to get 64.

Answer 6

Here:

2 [5 (11-3)] - 16

2 [5 x 8] - 16

2 [40] - 16

80 - 16

64

That's right, I think.
