Order of operations are:
1. Parentheses (simplify inside 'em)
2. Exponents
3. Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
4. Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)

So, on your first one:
Parentheses first:
8(3+4)-2*8/(5-3)
8(7)-2*8/(2)

There are no exponents so multiplication and division:
56-16/2
56-8

Finally, addition and subtraction:
56-8=48

Your second problem is a bit more complicated but follows the same rules:

( 8^(2)+(13-4) ^(2) )/5

Parentheses first:

( 8^(2)+ 9^(2))/5)

Now, exponents. Even though they are inside parentheses, we can't go further until we simply those.
(64+81)/5

Now back to parentheses:
(145)/5

Division:
145/5=29

Hope that helps
