Answer:

96

Explanation:

64 -[16 x (-3) – 2 x{17 – 25 }]​ I'm going to take a couple of steps that are very small and they can be combines along with other steps. Combine 16*-3

64 - [-48 - 2*(17 - 25)] Combine what is inside (17 - 25)

64 - [-48 - 2*(-8)] Combine -2*-8

64 - [-48 + 16] Combine what is in the brackets.

64 - [-32] Remove the brackets

64 + 32 Combine

96

The trick in this question is the signs.
