Was the question: $$\Large\frac{5+22-3(6)}{3}$$ ? Whenever you're transcribing a fraction, you need to put brackets around the numerator and the denominator, like: $$\Large\frac{(5+22-3(6))}{(3)}$$ which transcribes to (5 + 22 - 3(6)) ÷(3)

aja

I don't know if the correct answer choices correspond to the questions. If they do, then there is a mistake in the question. There is not one expression that matches any of the answer choices.

hmmm placed that in my calculator and the answer is three..

$\frac{ 5+22-3(6) }{ 3 }$$=\frac{ 5+22-18 }{ 3 }$$=\frac{ 5+4 }{ 3}$$=\frac{ 9 }{ 3 }$$=3$ i solved also solved it manually. @davilamaster
