85.0 - 3 - 7.2 + 12.0

Solution

The image contains a mathematical expression. From the image, I can identify the following expression:

85.037.2+12.085.0 - 3 - 7.2 + 12.0

Let me solve it step by step:

  1. Start with the first two terms: 85.03=82.085.0 - 3 = 82.0
  2. Subtract 7.2 from 82.0: 82.07.2=74.882.0 - 7.2 = 74.8
  3. Finally, add 12.0: 74.8+12.0=86.874.8 + 12.0 = 86.8

Thus, the result of the expression is 86.8.
