Solve {l}{2+5-4/3}{-3+2-8/3}

$$\left. \begin{array} { l } { \frac { 2 + 5 - 4 } { 3 } } \\ { \frac { - 3 + 2 - 8 } { 3 } } \end{array} \right.$$

Sort

$$-3,1$$

Solution Steps

Add 2 and 5 to get 7.

$$sort(\frac{7-4}{3},\frac{-3+2-8}{3})$$

Subtract 4 from 7 to get 3.

$$sort(\frac{3}{3},\frac{-3+2-8}{3})$$

Divide 3 by 3 to get 1.

$$sort(1,\frac{-3+2-8}{3})$$

Add -3 and 2 to get -1.

$$sort(1,\frac{-1-8}{3})$$

Subtract 8 from -1 to get -9.

$$sort(1,\frac{-9}{3})$$

Divide -9 by 3 to get -3.

$$sort(1,-3)$$

To sort the list, start from a single element 1.

$$1$$

Insert -3 to the appropriate location in the new list.

$$-3,1$$

Evaluate

$$1,\ -3$$
