Simplify the following expression.
79 – [6 – {4 – (8 × (6+3))}] ÷2
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 42.
79 – [6 – {4 – (8 × (6+3))}] ÷2
Now using BODMAS, we get
⇒ 79 – [6 – {4 – (8 × 9)}] ÷ 2
⇒ 79 – [6 – {4 – 72}] ÷ 2
⇒ 79 – [6 – {-68}] ÷ 2
⇒ 79 – [6 + 68] ÷ 2
⇒ 79 – 74 ÷ 2
⇒ 79 – 37
⇒ 42
