would this be correct
-3squared + ( (5 (8-6) ) / 2 + 45 ) / 5
=9 + ((5x2)/2)+9
-9 + 5 + 9
=23
Let's break down the given expression step by step:
-3^2 + ((5 * (8 - 6)) / 2 + 45) / 5
First, we calculate the exponent:
-3^2 = -3 * -3 = 9
The expression now becomes:
9 + ((5 * (8 - 6)) / 2 + 45) / 5
Next, we simplify the inner parentheses:
(8 - 6) = 2
The expression becomes:
9 + ((5 * 2) / 2 + 45) / 5
Now, we proceed with the multiplication:
(5 * 2) = 10
The expression becomes:
9 + (10 / 2 + 45) / 5
Next, we perform the division inside the parentheses:
(10 / 2) = 5
The expression becomes:
9 + (5 + 45) / 5
We simplify the addition:
(5 + 45) = 50
The expression now becomes:
9 + 50 / 5
Finally, we divide:
(50 / 5) = 10
The expression becomes:
9 + 10
Finally, we perform the addition:
9 + 10 = 19
So the correct answer is 19, not 23.
