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

If there was no parentheses, the result would different.
For example:: 22-(13-8)=17
Without parentheses:: 22-13-8=1
