✔ 最佳答案
15 - 2(5+3)/4 =

Rules of operation: Perform work inside parentheses first:

15 - 2(8)/4 =

Next perform multiplication and division working from the left:

15 - 16/4 =

15 - 4 =

Finally, perform addition/subtraction working from the left:

15 - 4 = 11

A handy tool for remembering order of operations:
Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally

P = Parenthese
E = Exponents
M/D = Multiplication/Division
A/S = Addition/Subtraction

15 - 2 ((5 + 3) / 4)

=> 15 - 2 (8 / 4)

=> 15 - 2 * 2

=> 15 - 4

=> 11

15 - 2(5 + 3) / 4
15 - 2(8)/4
15 - 16/4
15 - 4
11

EDIT: remember the order of operations. You must do the parentheses first: 5 + 3 = 8. Then, since there are no more parentheses, the rule is perform all multiplication and division first before ANY addition and subtraction. So we do 2 * 8 / 4 = 4 BEFORE subtracting anything from 15.

15 - 2(5+3) /4
=15 -2(8)/4
=15 - 16/4
=15 - 4
=11

Rule: multiply and divide first, then plus and minus.
do from left to right.

15 - 2 x (5 + 3) ÷ 4
= 15 - 2 x 8 ÷ 4
= 15 - 16 ÷ 4
= 15 - 4
= 11

you have many different answers because your question is ambiguous. I find it humorous that none of the other answers noticed that, even though there were so many different answers.

several possibilities:

(15–2)(5+3) / 4

15–[2(5+3) / 4]

[15–2(5+3)] / 4

each has a different answer

(15–2)(5+3) / 4
13*8/2
13*4
52

15–[2(5+3) / 4]
15–[2(8) / 4]
15–[16 / 4]
15–[4]
11

[15–2(5+3)] / 4
[15–2(8)] / 4
[15–16] / 4
–1/4

{15-2(5+3)}/4=(15-16)/4= -1/4

so the equation is:
15 - 2(5+3) / 4
As a rule, you must complete the equation inside the brackets first, so 5 + 3 = 8
Then, you complete everything outside the brackets:
so 15 - 2 x 8 / 4
which equals:
15 - 16 / 4
which equals:
-1 / 4
Therefore the answer is minus one over four (or -1/4) or -0.25

hmmmmmmmm.i gt a sista named sherry..is it u lol
do the brackets 1st 5 + 3 = 8
then do the 15 - 2 = 13
then times 13 by 8 = 104
and divide it by 4 = 26 !!
easy peazy
