Order of Operations with Parentheses, Addition, and Subtraction

In mathematics, the order of operations is a set of rules that tells us the order in which we should solve expressions. When dealing with expressions that include parentheses, addition, and subtraction, we follow these steps:

1. Parentheses: Solve expressions inside parentheses first.
2. Addition and Subtraction: Proceed from left to right.

Example

Consider the expression:

$$(3 + 5) - 2$$

Step 1: Solve inside the parentheses:

$$3 + 5 = 8$$
