Question

What does it mean when a number is out of the parenthesis? Example 3($28+$32)-$10=

Answer 1

When the number is out of parenthesis it means it is multiplying the number between the parenthesis 
example - 3 ( 28 + 32 ) => 3 ( 60)
which means 3 * 60 = 180

Note:- you cannot multiply the numbers when they are 3 ( 28 + 32 ) because you have to use PEMDAS ( order of operation ) to solve the problem where P = parenthesis , E = exponents, M = multiplication, D = divide , A = addition , S = subtract.
