3 - 5 = -2
-2 / 8 = -0.25
You have now received 3 answers of -.25 from 3 different tutors.
That answer is correct according to the way you posted the question.
I also read it as:
((√3)^2 - 5)/8
= -2/8 = -1/4 or -.25
If you meant something different use brackets to establish the correct order of operations.
