Please help!
son in 5th grade having trouble with multiple action probs ex:
[(6+8)x3-12]+6=
does he do the 6+8 get a total; first then the x3 get a total; then -12 get a total then +6 ?
I always thought you did the items in the () first then the remainder of the probs in the [], but he says to do the multiplication first, who's right?
