Math Problem Statement

54+[19-{15-(6-16÷4×8)}]

Solution

Let's solve the expression step by step:

Given: 54+[19{15(6164×8)}]54 + \left[ 19 - \{ 15 - (6 - \frac{16}{4} \times 8) \} \right]

Step 1: Simplify inside the innermost parentheses

Start by solving the division and multiplication inside the parentheses:

164=4\frac{16}{4} = 4

4×8=324 \times 8 = 32

So, the expression inside becomes: 632=266 - 32 = -26

Step 2: Substitute back into the expression

Substitute 26-26 back into the original expression:

54+[19{15(26)}]54 + \left[ 19 - \{ 15 - (-26) \} \right]

Step 3: Simplify inside the braces

Next, solve the expression inside the braces:

15(26)=15+26=4115 - (-26) = 15 + 26 = 41

So the expression now becomes: 54+[1941]54 + \left[ 19 - 41 \right]

Step 4: Simplify inside the brackets

Now, simplify inside the brackets:

1941=2219 - 41 = -22

Step 5: Final calculation

Finally, add the result to 54:

54+(22)=5422=3254 + (-22) = 54 - 22 = 32

So, the final answer is: 32\boxed{32}
