Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the following expression: [11 + (12 - 4) × 2] ÷ 3

Solution

The expression to evaluate is:

[11+(124)×2]÷3\left[ 11 + (12 - 4) \times 2 \right] \div 3

Let's break it down step by step:

  1. Parentheses First: (124)=8(12 - 4) = 8

  2. Multiplication Next: 8×2=168 \times 2 = 16

  3. Addition Inside the Brackets: 11+16=2711 + 16 = 27

  4. Division: 27÷3=927 \div 3 = 9

Thus, the evaluated expression equals 9.
