Question

Evaluate the expression:

3[7(14->) + 5) - 18?

A. 123
B. -192
C. 87
D.273

Answer 1

The evaluated expression 3[7(14) + 5) - 18 results in 291, which does not match any of the provided answer choices, suggesting an error in the question or the options.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression provided seems to have a typo, but assuming it is meant to be 3[7(14) + 5) - 18, the evaluation process is as follows:

1. Multiply 7 by 14 to get 98.
2. Add 5 to 98 to get 103.
3. Multiply 3 by 103 to get 309.
4. Subtract 18 from 309 to get 291.

So, after evaluating the expression, the result is 291, which is not one of the provided options (A. 123, B. -192, C. 87, D. 273). It appears there might be an error in the question or in the answer options given.
