Math Problem Statement

(15-4)+3-(12-5x2)+(5+16/4)-5+(10-2²)

Solution

Let's break down the expression step by step:

(154)+3(125×2)+(5+164)5+(1022)(15-4)+3-(12-5 \times 2)+(5 + \frac{16}{4})-5+(10-2^2)

  1. First, solve the parentheses: (154)=11(15-4) = 11 (125×2)=1210=2(12 - 5 \times 2) = 12 - 10 = 2 164=4\frac{16}{4} = 4 22=4(104)=62^2 = 4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad (10 - 4) = 6

  2. Now, rewrite the expression with the simplified values: 11+32+(5+4)5+611 + 3 - 2 + (5 + 4) - 5 + 6

  3. Simplify further: 11+3=1411 + 3 = 14 142=1214 - 2 = 12 5+4=95 + 4 = 9 12+9=2112 + 9 = 21 215=1621 - 5 = 16 16+6=2216 + 6 = 22

The final answer is 22.
