You correctly solved a different problem:

The problem you were given had only the 'three plus five' in parentheses. (You may write in additional grouping symbols yourself, if you wish, but ONLY if they they do not alter the correct ORDER OF OPERATIONS.)

EXAMPLES:

20 - 2(3 + 5) + 6 = 20 - 2(8) + 6 20 - 16 + 6 4 + 6 10

7 - 3 + 4(2 + 5) - 8 = 7 - 3 + 4(7) - 8 7 - 3 + 28 - 8 4 + 28 - 8 32 - 8 24
