Order of operations are:
1. Parentheses (simplify inside 'em)
2. Exponents
3. Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
4. Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
So, on your first one:
Parentheses first:
8(3+4)-2*8/(5-3)
8(7)-2*8/(2)
There are no exponents so multiplication and division:
56-16/2
56-8
Finally, addition and subtraction:
56-8=48
Your second problem is a bit more complicated but follows the same rules:
[tex]( 8^{2}+(13-4) ^{2} )/5 [/tex]
Parentheses first:
[tex]( 8^{2}+ 9^{2})/5) [/tex]
Now, exponents. Even though they are inside parentheses, we can't go further until we simply those.
(64+81)/5
Now back to parentheses:
(145)/5
Division:
145/5=29
Hope that helps
