| Braces Parentheses | Braces | Square Bracket | Explanation
Braces are known as Double Brackets, Curly Brackets or Curly Braces. Braces are denoted with the symbol "{ }". In a problem, where there are more than one type of brackets, Braces are the second one to be solved.
Following are some examples which shows the working of Curly Braces & Parentheses
Example 1 = Solve 10 + { 20 - (2 × 5)}
Answer = Here we have two types of brackets, so we solve the Parentheses first and we get:
= 10 + { 20 - 10 }
Now, solve the values of Braces and we get:
= 10 + 10 = 20
Example 2 = Solve 3 {(2 × 8) + ( 27 ÷ 3)}
Answer = Here we have two types of brackets, so we solve the Parentheses first and we get:
= 3 {16 + 9}
Now, solve the values of Braces and we get:
= 3 × 25 = 75
Example 3 = Solve 20 - { 2(4 + 10) - ( 30 ÷ 3)}
Answer = Here we have two types of brackets, so we solve the Parentheses first and we get:
= 20 - { 2 × 14 - 10}
Now, apply the rule of BODMAS and we get:
= 20 - { 28 - 10}
Now, solve the values of Braces and we get:
= 20 - 18 = 2
Example 4 = Solve 100 ÷ { 2(28 - 18)}
Answer = Here we have two types of brackets, so we solve the Parentheses first and we get:
= 100 ÷ { 2 × 10}
Now, solve the values of Braces and we get:
= 100 ÷ 20 = 5
