Difficulty with PEMDAS

by masskev » Wed Feb 11, 2009 4:45 pm
Need assistance on how to arrive at the conclusion below breaking down the following equation to reach the conclusion step by step as I don't know how to solve this.

v= 10 * 1/2 * 6(1 - Square Root of 7/7) * (Square root of 7 - 1)

the solution is 60(4/7Square Root 7 - 1). I would greatly appreciate anyone's help whom could walk me through how to arrive at this step by step as I can't figure out where I am going wrong.

Thank You
