Math Problem Statement

solve

Simplify: 22 − (8 − 2) + [6 ⋅ (20 ÷ 5) − 11]

Solution

Let's solve the expression step by step:

Given: 22(82)+[6(20÷5)11]22 - (8 - 2) + [6 \cdot (20 \div 5) - 11]

Step 1: Simplify inside the parentheses

First, solve the parentheses:

82=68 - 2 = 6 20÷5=420 \div 5 = 4

Now the expression becomes: 226+[6411]22 - 6 + [6 \cdot 4 - 11]

Step 2: Perform the multiplication inside the brackets

64=246 \cdot 4 = 24

So the expression becomes: 226+[2411]22 - 6 + [24 - 11]

Step 3: Simplify inside the brackets

2411=1324 - 11 = 13

Now the expression is: 226+1322 - 6 + 13

Step 4: Perform the remaining addition and subtraction

226=1622 - 6 = 16 16+13=2916 + 13 = 29

So, the simplified result is: 29\boxed{29}

The correct answer is 29.
