Solution

Let's break down the expression step by step:

[(21+6)32]÷9×2[(21 + 6) - 32] \div 9 \times 2

  1. First, solve inside the brackets: 21+6=2721 + 6 = 27 So the expression becomes: (2732)÷9×2(27 - 32) \div 9 \times 2

  2. Now, perform the subtraction: 2732=527 - 32 = -5 So the expression is now: 5÷9×2-5 \div 9 \times 2

  3. Next, perform the division: 5÷9=590.555-5 \div 9 = -\frac{5}{9} \approx -0.555 So the expression becomes: 0.555×2-0.555 \times 2

  4. Finally, perform the multiplication: 0.555×2=1.11-0.555 \times 2 = -1.11

Rounding to the nearest value, the closest answer is 1.

Final answer: 1
