think about it this way:
(9+14)-(8/2)
first perform what's in the parenths, then multiplication and division, and finally addition and subtraction.

Actually, it's 19.
(9+14) - 8/2
(23) - 8/2
(23) - 4
19
Keep trying and stay in school.

The correct answer is 19.
You do algebra in this order: parenthesses, multiplication/division, additon/subtraction

No the answer is 19. Multiplication and division must all be done before any kind of addition or subtraction, except when the usual order of operations is overridden by the use of parentheses around the addition or subtraction.
