Before we get started, it is good to remember PEMDAS - the acronym that tells you the order to carry out equations.
P = parentheses
E = exponents
M = multiplication
D = division
A = addition
S = subtraction
Knowing this, we should start by doing the equations <em>within </em>each parentheses.
So we did the addition and subtraction pieces within each group leaving us with the above equation. Now let's multiply:
20 is the answer.
