2/27
It is tough to tell what your problem looks like on paper. For example, does the 6 multiply against the result of what came before it (5 + 7 over 3)? I mean, where are the parens?
Elizabeth laid it out beautifully below... right up to just before the end. She said:
5+[19 - (3) (4)] over 3 (6) divided by [(3+4)+ (5-3)]
5+[19-12] over 3(6) divided by [7+2]
5+7 over 3(6) divided by 9
5+7 over 18 divided by 9
12 over 2
12/2 = 6
But it should be...
5+[19 - (3) (4)] over 3 (6) divided by [(3+4)+ (5-3)]
5+[19-12] over 3(6) divided by [7+2]
5+7 over 3(6) divided by 9
*** (5+7 over 18) divided by 9
// Note the term "over", implying a fractional line instead of the classic division sign: a dot over and below a negative sign.
So, instead of 12 over 2, it becomes 12/18 divided by 9.
12/18 reduces to 2/3, giving us 2/3 divided by 9/1.
Flip the 9/1, to get 2/3 x 1/9
Result: 2/27, or .074 (repeating)

Hmm.
5 1/2 or 7/2
[19 - (3)(4)] = 7
3(6) = 18
[(3+4) + (5-3)] = 9
7/18 * 1/9 = 9/18 = 1/2
5 + 1/2 = 5 1/2 or 7/2
