Question

Evaluate the numerical expression: 8 x [(25-2)-(2 + 4)].

A) 130
B) 96
C) 40
D) 32

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression, subtract the numbers inside each set of parentheses, then multiply the two resulting values together.

Therefore, the numerical expression evaluates to 136.

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate the expression, we start by simplifying the innermost parentheses:

8 x [(25-2)-(2 + 4)] = 8 x [23 - 6] = 8 x 17

Next, we multiply:

8 x 17 = 136

Therefore, the numerical expression evaluates to 136.
