I dont think the answer is 129 unless you typed the problem in wrong. Order of operations say to do everything inside the perenthesis first so you would do the 3*2 which is 6 then divide the 12 by 6 and you get 2. so your new equation is 8^2+9(2)-7. Next distribute the 9 to the 2 that is inside the perenthesis. Square root the 8 also. Now it is 49+18-7. The answer would be 60 ...?

There are 45 new houses being built in a neighborhood. Last month, 1/3 of them were sold. This month, 1/5 of the remaining house

45 new houses.....last month 1/3 were sold....
1/3(45) = 45/3 = 15 houses sold last month

this month, 1/5 of the remaining houses were sold...
remaining houses left are (45 - 15) = 30
1/5(30) = 30/5 = 6 houses sold this month

houses left : 45 - 15 - 6 = 45 - 21 = 24 houses remain <==
