Explanation:

Following PEMDAS, you start off with parenthesis.

(83+17)=100

Now you have 100xx5-(83+17xx5)

You still have to solve for the other parenthesis, so

(83+17xx5)= 500

Now you have 100xx5-500

There are no exponents, so now move on to multiplication

100xx5=500

Now solve for the rest

500-500=0
