Well for this question you don't need to worry about PEMDAS to much since it's all multiplication. So first just do the subtraction in each parenthesis 5-(-14)(23. Now you may be wondering about the negative outside the parenthesis, all you need to remember is to multiply it by the -14 and remember that negative times negative is positive so the answer would be 14. Simplified version after all this would be 5(14)(23), so now just do the multiplication which would give you 1,610. Hope this helps!
