Answer 1

To simplify the expression (30.3 + 24) - (63 - 73), you need to follow the order of operations. After solving the parentheses and subtracting the negative, the simplified expression is 64.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the expression (30.3 + 24) - (63 - 73) following the order of operations, we start by solving the parentheses:

(30.3 + 24) - (63 - 73) = 54.3 - (-10)

Next, we simplify the expression by subtracting the negative:

54.3 - (-10) = 54.3 + 10 = 64.3
