(18-5)/(-37)+2*64
= (13)/(-37)+2*64
= (13)/(-37)+128
= -0.3513+128
= 127.6487

(18-5) /(-37)+2*64
= 13/(-37) + 2*64    (the expression in parentheses is evaluated first)
= -13/37 + 2*64    (division is leftmost, so it is evaluated next)
= -13/37 + 128    (followed by the multiplication on the right)
= 127 24/37    (last, the addition is performed)

Can treat as two separate operations.In the parentheses first.

(18-5)/(- 37)

= 13/ - 37

= -  0.351351
======now,

Multiplication first.

2 * 64

= 128
======last task

128 + (- 0.135135 )

= ~ 127.86 ======( rounded off= 128, as -.135135 is minimal )
