Step-by-step solution

We will convert the question into an exercise with which we are familiar:

(5×1330)+(9×210) \left(5\times 13-30\right)+\left(9\times 2-10\right)

First, we will solve everything that is in the parentheses, starting with the multiplication and division from left to right:

(6530)+(1810) \left(65-30\right)+\left(18-10\right)

Then the addition and subtraction operations that are in the parentheses:

35+8 35+8

Finally, we perform the operations outside of the parentheses:

35+8=43 35+8=43
