Solve 19-(5+11): Order of Operations Practice with Parentheses

To solve the problem $19 - (5 + 11)$, we will follow these steps:

• Step 1: Evaluate the expression inside the parentheses. This means we need to calculate $5 + 11$.
• Step 2: Once the sum inside the parentheses is found, subtract this sum from 19.

Let's work through each step:

Step 1: Calculate $5 + 11$ which equals 16.

Step 2: Substitute 16 in place of $5 + 11$ in the original expression. You have $19 - 16$.

Now, solve $19 - 16$, which equals 3.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $3$.
