telephoneCheck(“1 555)555-5555”)
How to check if open ‘(’ bracket exists we need to have ‘)’ too?

Your code so far

function telephoneCheck(str) {
  var rex=/^1{0,1}\s?\(?\d{3}\)?(-|\s)?\d{3}(-|\s)?\d{4}/g;
  // Good luck!
  if(str.match(rex)){
    return true;
  }
  return false;
}



telephoneCheck("555-555-5555");
