Use PEMDAS
figure out everything inside the parentheses first, you still have to do PEMDAS inside of the parentheses also.

Answer:
Abel receives $60, and Cedric receives $120
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Abel's share = A
Let Cedric's share = C
we are given the following
A + C = 180 - - - - - (1) (Abel and Cedric will share a total of $180)
(Abel will receive half as much as Cedric. )
from equation 2:
putting this value of C in eqn (3) into eqn (1)
A + (2A) = 180
3A = 180
∴ A = 180 ÷ 3 = 60
to find C, let us replace the value of A in eqn (3) with 60
C = 2A - - - - (3)
C = 2 × 60
C = 120
Therefore, Abel receives $60, and Cedric receives $120
