Those value inside parentheses have higher priority

The term P E M D A S: Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally <-rubbish It's not rubbish, it's just a way to remember it, it obviously doesn't actually want you to use that in your math equation.

Parentheses Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction

EXAMPLE :: -13(-9/3)

ANSWER ::10 whoever wrote that, it is not 10. If it was 10, the correct equation would be:: -13+(19/3)

Calculate the inside of the parentheses which is (-9/3) = -3

Thus, -13(-3)= 39

If there was no parentheses, the result would different.

For example:: 22-(13-8)=17

Without parentheses:: 22-13-8=1

...See the difference?
