always solve for a number that are in parentheses first
5 [ 24 - ( 6 + 8 ) ]
5 [ 24 - ( 14 ) ]
5 [ 10 ]
50

Start with 6+8 = 14. Now you have 5[24 - (14)] --> 5(24-14) = 5(10) = 50

This is easy! I will show you.
5[24 - (6+8)] =
1. deal with what in (). Okay? So, that 6 + 8 which = 14
5[24 - 14] =
2. then deal with the second set. 24 - 14 = 10
5(10)
3. 5 multiplies 10 times = 50
You answer is 50! :-)
That was fun! Wasn't it? I thought so.

do the deepest parenthesis first:
5[24 - (6 + 8)] =
5[24 - (14)] =
5[24 - 14] =
5[10] =
50
