Answer:

You would get 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the order of operations ( GEMDAS or PEMDAS ), in a problem the first step is grouping.

20 - 5(3) = 20 - 15, because 5 * 3 is 15 and parenthesis is  a sign of multiplication. Then you would get:

20 - 15 = 5.

Here we would not inverse the subtraction sign, because there is an operation before the grouping

Would reverse operation:

20 - ( 5 + 3 )

Would NOT reverse operation:

20 - 5(2) Operation before the subtraction
