I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of parenthesis in Scheme?

Simply I cannot figure out how to get rid of one stupid parenthesis on this list in scheme.
Here is the list:
(("R" 100 199 (("L" 120 140 160 180))) ("R" 200 299 (("L" 220 240 260 280))))
I know I have to use car and cdr but I feel like I have used every possibility.

Which one are you hoping to get rid of? Usually a product of(cons (cons somethng ...))that should have been(cons something ...)instead.

I’m just trying to get the very first parentheses off so it still says (R 100 199...etc)

You cannot get rid of the top-level parenthesis because they are binding two expressions together, as you can see by splitting the expression in different lines:
(
("R" 100 199 (("L" 120 140 160 180)))
("R" 200 299 (("L" 220 240 260 280)))
)
The only parenthesis that may be redundant here are the ones around the "L" expressions.
(
("R" 100 199 ("L" 120 140 160 180))
("R" 200 299 ("L" 220 240 260 280))
)
But these expressions look "unbalanced". As a wild guess, I would think this is what you're looking for (now, using proper Scheme indentation):
(("R" 100 199)
("L" 120 140 160 180)
("R" 200 299)
("L" 220 240 260 280))
But to know for sure, we would have to know what exactly you're trying to do, and what these "L" and "R" mean.
