The expression is ![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=b69b8f804db6fdd744a59b011ff116e2.png\")
.
To simplify the expression follow the order of operations: (PEMDAS)
\1. Evaluate the expressions inside Brackets/Parenthesis (P).
\2. Evaluate Powers/Exponents (E).
\3. Multiply and/or Divide in order from left to right (MD).
\4. Add and/or Subtract in order from left to right (AS).
\A simple technique for remembering the order pf operations is turned into phrase
\“Please Excuse My Dear Aunty Sally”![\"\"](\"http://www.mathskey.com/userfiles/image/steps_images/step2.JPG\")
According order of operations inside the grouping symbols should be
\evaluated first.
\First operation is dividing the numbers within the parenthesis.

(Multiply: ![\"\"](\"http://www.mathskey.com/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=9f9d1d39f72cc036341bb50dcb7a938f.png\")
)
Next operation is addition.
\= 51 (Subtract: 35 + 16 = 51)![\"\"](\"http://www.mathskey.com/userfiles/image/steps_images/solution.JPG\")
The value of the expression is 51.
