The Answers community requires more information for this question. It could be a multiplicand for whatever is in the parenthesis, for example, 3(2x + 5) = 6x + 15 or it could represent the value of a function for a specific argument, for example if f(x) = 6x + 7 then f(3) = 6*3 + 7 = 25. There are other possible answers.

That usually indicates multiplication. For example,5(3 + 4)

Means that you first evaluate the expression within parentheses, then do the multiplication - in this case, 5 times 7.

What is the rules of PEMDAS?

The rules of PEMDAS are 1. Parenthesis anything in them you do first. 2. Exponents those little numbers next to the number telling you to multiply the number by itself a certain number of times 3. Multiplication and Division whichever comes first and 4. Addition and Subtraction whichever comes first. If there is an exponent next to parenthesis but there is no number that means the answer to the parenthesis has to be the thing that the exponent is next to. All of the rules apply inside of the parenthesis as well. If there is a number next to the parenthesis not followed by a symbol multiply the answer to the parenthesis by that number.
