Answer:

  1. simplify parentheses
  2. divide 39/13
  3. multiply 2(19)
  4. subtract 3-38

Explanation:

The order of operations tells you to evaluate parentheses first.

Step 1: simplify (12+1) and (4+15)

39÷13 -2×19

Then it tells you to do multiplication and division, left to right.

Step 2: divide 39÷13

3 -2×19

Step 3: multiply 2×19

3 -38

Finally, addition and subtraction are done, left to right.

Step 4: subtract 38 from 3

-35
