Try to write your problem using the standard ASCII convention for mathematical operations:
+ means add
- means subtract
* means multiply, for example 2*4 = 8
/ means divide, for example 6/3 = 2.
^ means take the exponent of, for example 2^3=2*2*2=8
( ) grouping, means do everything on the inside of the parentheses first, for example ((2+6)/4)+2 = 4
Once you write it in this form, I'm sure there are many people here who will be able to help you.
