I tried this:
3/5 + 4 - 2/5(8 - 6) / 3
(3/5 + 4) - 2/5(2) / 3
(23/5) - (4/5 / 3)
23/5 - (12/15 / 3)
23/5 - (4/15)
69/15 - 4/15
65/15 or
_
4.3 or 4 1/3
and got the answer 4 1/3. But I still not sure if my solving method is right! I know the answer but if anyone could elaborate I'd be much obliged. >_<
