Math Problem Statement

5[24 - (9 + 3) ÷ 4]

Solution

The given expression is:

5[24(9+3)÷4]5 \left[ 24 - \left(9 + 3\right) \div 4 \right]

Let's solve this step-by-step, following the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS: Parentheses/Brackets, Exponents/Orders, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)).

  1. Inside the parentheses:
    9+3=129 + 3 = 12

    So, the expression becomes: 5[24(12÷4)]5 \left[ 24 - \left(12 \div 4\right) \right]

  2. Division inside the brackets:
    12÷4=312 \div 4 = 3

    The expression now is: 5[243]5 \left[ 24 - 3 \right]

  3. Subtraction inside the brackets:
    243=2124 - 3 = 21

    The expression simplifies to: 5×215 \times 21

  4. Final multiplication:
    5×21=1055 \times 21 = 105

So, the final answer is:

105\boxed{105}
