Do you mean a question like 20/5/2? Without any parentheses, the rule would be to work from left to right, dividing 20 by 5 first: (20/5)/2 = 4/2 = 2.
If there were parentheses telling us to do the second division first, the answer would be different: 20/(5/2) = 20/2.5 = 8.

You will have to break it down, for example: 5x + 40= 60 -40 -40 ----------- 0 20 so 20 divided by 5 is 4 so x equals 4, thats how you do it,.
two algebraic steps (not counting simplification steps) must be used to solve the problem. 1st step is adding or subtracting some quantity from both sides of the equation. 2nd step is multiplying or dividing by a number to solve.
