Divide the sum of 700 and -196 by the sum of 30 and (3.5 - 1/2) x (-3)

Using the standard order of operations ("PEMDAS") this can be written as

(700 – 196)/[30 + (3.5 – 1/2)(–3)] = 504/[30 + 3(–3)] =

504/21 = 24

(700-196)/(30+(3.5-1/2)(-3))
504/(30+3(-3))
504/(30-9)
504/21
24

Hope this helps!

(700 - 196)/(30)
