Question

(36 - 13) × (15 - 9) - 8

Explanation:

Step1: Correct the expression (assuming it's 36 - 13 instead of 36 ÷ 13 as the division might be a typo)

First, calculate the values inside the parentheses. For the first parenthesis: \(36 - 13 = 23\)
For the second parenthesis: \(15 - 9 = 6\)

Step2: Multiply the results of the parentheses

Now, multiply the two results: \(23\times6 = 138\)

Step3: Subtract 8 from the product

Subtract 8 from 138: \(138 - 8 = 130\)

(If the original expression is indeed \(36\div13\times(15 - 9)-8\), the steps would be:

Step1: Calculate inside parentheses

\(15 - 9 = 6\)

Step2: Perform division

\(36\div13=\frac{36}{13}\)

Step3: Multiply by 6

\(\frac{36}{13}\times6=\frac{216}{13}\)

Step4: Subtract 8

\(\frac{216}{13}-8=\frac{216 - 104}{13}=\frac{112}{13}\approx8.62\)
But the handwritten "÷" might be a typo for "-", so the first calculation is more probable.)

Answer:

130 (assuming the first parenthesis is 36 - 13) or \(\frac{112}{13}\) (if it's 36 ÷ 13)
