Solve 3+4+(8-3)-(4+8)-(3-6)-[-(3+4)+(8-3)]=5

$$3 + 4 + ( 8 - 3 ) - ( 4 + 8 ) - ( 3 - 6 ) - [ - ( 3 + 4 ) + ( 8 - 3 ) ] = 5$$

Solution Steps

Add 3 and 4 to get 7.

$$7+8-3-\left(4+8\right)-\left(3-6\right)-\left(-\left(3+4\right)+8-3\right)=5$$

Add 7 and 8 to get 15.

$$15-3-\left(4+8\right)-\left(3-6\right)-\left(-\left(3+4\right)+8-3\right)=5$$

Subtract 3 from 15 to get 12.

$$12-\left(4+8\right)-\left(3-6\right)-\left(-\left(3+4\right)+8-3\right)=5$$

Add 4 and 8 to get 12.

$$12-12-\left(3-6\right)-\left(-\left(3+4\right)+8-3\right)=5$$

Subtract 12 from 12 to get 0.

$$0-\left(3-6\right)-\left(-\left(3+4\right)+8-3\right)=5$$

Subtract 6 from 3 to get -3.

$$0-\left(-3\right)-\left(-\left(3+4\right)+8-3\right)=5$$

The opposite of -3 is 3.

$$0+3-\left(-\left(3+4\right)+8-3\right)=5$$

Add 0 and 3 to get 3.

$$3-\left(-\left(3+4\right)+8-3\right)=5$$

Add 3 and 4 to get 7.

$$3-\left(-7+8-3\right)=5$$

Add -7 and 8 to get 1.

$$3-\left(1-3\right)=5$$

Subtract 3 from 1 to get -2.

$$3-\left(-2\right)=5$$

The opposite of -2 is 2.

$$3+2=5$$

Add 3 and 2 to get 5.

$$5=5$$

Compare 5 and 5.
