Removing
Symbols for
Groupings
Parentheses ( ), brackets [ ], and
braces { } are different grouping
symbols used in expressions. To
evaluate and expression with
different grouping symbols, perform
the operation in the innermost set of
grouping symbol first. Then evaluate
the expression from the inside out.
Example:
1) 5 [(11-3) – (13 – 9)]
Step 1: Perform the operations in the
parentheses first.
Step 2: Next, perform the operations in the
bracket.
Step 3: Then multiply.
5 [8 – (13-9)]
5 [8 – 4]
5 [4]
20
2) 12 – {3 + [4 – 5 (6 – 2 + 7) + 1]}
12 – {3 + [4 – 5 (11) + 1]}
12 – {3 + [4 – 55 + 1]}
12 – {3 + [-50]}
12 – {3 – 50}
12 – {– 47}
12 + 47
