Question

How do you simplify (-105 dividedBy 35+6) (9) ?

Answer 1

(-105 dividedBy 35+6)(9) `= 27`

Explanation:

Rewriting using standard symbols:
`color(white)("XXXX")` `(-105 div 35 + 6)(9)`

Everything inside the parentheses is done first with parentheses evaluated left to right
So `(-105 div 35 + 6)` is evaluated first

`color(white)("XXXX")`Within the parentheses multiplication and division is done before addition and subtraction
`color(white)("XXXX")`So `-105 div 35` is done first
`color(white)("XXXX")` `color(white)("XXXX")` `-105 div 35 = -3`
`color(white)("XXXX")` `(-105div 35 + 6)` therefore becomes `(-3 +6)`
`color(white)("XXXX")` `color(white)("XXXX")` `-3+6 = 3`
`color(white)("XXXX")` `(-105 div 35 +6)` becomes `(-3+6)` becomes `(3)` or just `3`

Moving to the second set of parentheses:
we have nothing to evaluate except `(9) = 9`

We are left with an implied multiplication
`color(white)("XXXX")` `3xx9 = 27`
