To correctly solve the expression 17 - 8 - 5 ÷ 14 using the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), you would first perform the division operation, then subtraction. The correct placement of parentheses to indicate the order of operations would be 17 - (8 - (5 ÷ 14)). This ensures that the division is done before the subtraction.

17 - (8 - 5) = 14
around the 8 and the 5
Parentheses group parts of the equation together and do them first: For example, on a calculator: With parentheses: (14 - 5) ÷ (9 - 6) = 3 Without parentheses: 14 - 5 ÷ 9 - 6 = 7.444 (repeating)
Since 5, 17, and 14 have no common factors, simply multiply the numbers together: 5*17*14=1190
