title: Creating java program to solve an equation
body: <p>So I'm in an into to Java course and its my second year of college, my professor is unwilling to help me with this. </p>
  
  <p>I was doing well, learning from scratch and using Eclipse, and I get an error which I don't understand because my other lines were fine. </p>
  
  <p>Error is: </p>
  
  <pre><code>Syntax error on token "(", Name expected after this token
  
  package project1;
  
  public class BirthRates {
  
  public static void main(String[] args) {
      // TODO Auto-generated method stub
      System.out.println((365*24*60*60 / 7));
      System.out.println((365*24*60*60 / 13));
      System.out.println((365*24*60*60 / 45));
      System.out.println**((**312,032,486 + 4505142 - 2425846 + 700800));
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>}</p>
  
  <p>The error appears with the (( in the asterisk. </p>
  
  <p>My problem that i'm solving is <a href="http://faculty.stcc.edu/silvestri/csci111/images/Prob1-11.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://faculty.stcc.edu/silvestri/csci111/images/Prob1-11.jpg</a> 
  I literally am struggling so hard trying to learn this, its hard not being able to ask the one whos "teaching" you so if anyone could lead me in the right direction i would be forever thankful. </p>
