IMEIDATE ACTION PLEASE What do you get for an answer?

Hello, jenni_ann_t!

Start in the "inside" and simplify one step at a time:

\(\displaystyle \;\;\;\;\bigg(\left[(\underbrace{10\,+\,8})\,\times\,2\right]\,-\,3\bigg)\,\div\,3\)
. . . . . . . . . \(\displaystyle \downarrow\)
\(\displaystyle \;\;\;=\;\bigg(\left[\underbrace{18\,\times\,2}\right]\,-\,3\bigg)\,\div\,3\)
. . . . . . . . . .\(\displaystyle \downarrow\)
\(\displaystyle \;\;\;\;\;=\;\left(\underbrace{36\,-\,3}\right)\,\div\,3\)
. . . . . . . . . . . \(\displaystyle \downarrow\)
\(\displaystyle \;\;\;\;\:\ \ \ =\;\underbrace{33\,\div\,3}\)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . \(\displaystyle \downarrow\)
\(\displaystyle \;\;\;\;\;\;\;\,\;\;=\; 11\)
 
Please show what you got for an answer. (This is your homework, so you are the one who needs to be able to get the answer. We'll be glad to check your work.)

Thank you.

Eliz.

Edit: Never mind. You already have a fully-worked solution.
 
Fabulous! Thank You! Actually, it is for a contest and that is what I had for an answer...it just has been years scince I have done a problem like that! I needed a second opinion!

Thanks again
Jennifer
