8 Example 1: 10+20/5 and (10+20)/5
9 10 +20/5 becomes 10 + 4, which becomes 14.
10 (10+20)/5 becomes 30/5, which becomes 6.
11 Example 2: 10/20+5 and 10/(20+5)
12 10/20+5 becomes .5 + 5, which becomes 5.5.
13 10/(20+5) becomes 10/25, which becomes 2/5 or 0.4.
14 Example 3: 5+3×72 or (5+3)×72
15 5 + 3×72 becomes 5+3×49, which becomes 5 + 147 which becomes 152.
16 (5 + 3)×72 = (8)×72 =8×49 = 392.
17 Example 4: -91/2 or (-9)1/2
18 -91/2 becomes -3 (because 3 is the square root of 9).
19 (-9)1/2 is not a real number because no real number squared gives -9.
