Answer 2

Hi there!

We need to use PEMDAS to simplify.
P = parenthesis
E = Exponents
M = Multiply
D = Dividing
A = Adding
S = Subtracting


`6 * 3 + (17 - 3) - 4`
Between the parenthesis first.


`6 * 3 + 14 - 4`
Now multiply.


`18 + 14 - 4`
Add


`32 - 4`
Finally subtract.


`28`
Hence, the answer is 28.
