Question:

What do brackets mean in an algebraic equation? Example?

[-15+(-7)]-(-8-11)??? Could someone also solve this problem for me? Thank you

Answer:

brackets are the same thing as parenthesis -15+-7 -22 -8-11 -19 -22 - -19 -3
Brackets are before Parentheses in terms of order of operations. So you do things in brackets before you do things in parentheses.
