How is 42 arrived at in the math question 28+7(5-3)=?

28 + 7(5 - 3)
= 28 + 7(2)
= 28 + 14
= 42

28 + 7 x 2 = 28 + 14 = 42

OR

28 + 35 - 21 = 63 - 21 = 42

You do the one in the brackets first. Multiplying goes before adding if there are no brackets so. 28+7(5-3)=28+7*2=28+14=42

If you mean how to get 42 as an answer from the question 28+7(5-3)=
it is like this... 28+7(2)=
28+14= 42

the question can be re phrased as 28+14 because if we break the question down 5-3 must be done first because its in brackets

5-3=2
28=28
7=7 two terms together mean multply

2x7= 14 and
28+14=42
