Question

How do you find the value of `[6-(12-8)^2] div5`?

Answer 1

`-2`

Explanation:

This is all one term, but there are different operations being done.

Start with the innermost brackets, then work outwards.
Each new color shows the next step.

`[6-color(red)((12-8))^2] div5`

=`[6-color(red)((4)^color(blue)(2)] div5`

=`[color(lime)(6)-color(blue)(16)] div5`

=`color(lime)(-10) color(magenta)(div 5)`

=`color(magenta)(-2)`
