Answer:

Whatever is in the parenthesis.

Explanation:

A good way to remember what operation you should do first in these kinds of problems is: PEMDAS.

Each letter in PEMDAS stands for a function in problems, and it gives the order that you should do them in.

P - Parenthesis

E - Exponents

M - Multiplication

D - Division

A - Addition

S - Subtraction

1. Parenthesis; always comes first.

2. Exponents; always comes second.

3. Multiplication/Division; it does NOT matter which one you do first out of these two.

4. Multiplication/Division; whatever you didn't do on #3

5. Addition/Subtraction; it does NOT matter which one you do first out of these two.

6. Addition/Subtraction; whatever you didn't do on #5.
