Question

y/6-3=-11
What does y equal?

Answer 1

-48 is the answer i got

Answer 2

If it's (y / 6) - 3 = -11:
                  + 3   + 3
                y / 6 = -8
                   * 6   * 6
                      y = -48

If it's y / (6 - 3) = -11:
                y / 3 = -11
                   * 3   * 3
                     y = -33

If there aren't any parenthesis, you use PEMDAS, which means -48 would be the answer because you'd do the division before the subtraction
