#32/19#

Explanation:

P.E.M.D.A.S
- Parenthesis
- Exponents
- Multiplication
- Division
- Addition
- Subtraction

According to the order of operations, solve what's in the parenthesis first, then exponents. But since there isn't any exponents, next you multiply

#32-:(54-35)#

Since you still have parenthesis, subtract #54-35#

#32-:19#

Now, divide

#32/19#
