Problem
evaluate the expression 19 + (13 * 8) - (16 / 2)
Answer
115
Step-by-step solution
Following the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), first calculate the expressions within the parentheses: $13 \times 8 = 104$ and $16 \div 2 = 8$. Then, substitute these values back into the expression: $19 + 104 - 8$. Finally, perform the addition and subtraction from left to right: $19 + 104 = 123$, and $123 - 8 = 115$.
