Answer:

31

Explanation:

Note: I'm assuming that the three values after your expression (49, 58, and 31) are the possible answers. Let me know if they're actually a part of the expression.

Following PEMDAS, we're going to have to start by evaluating the expression inside the parentheses. That expression is 16 - 9, which is equivalent to 7.

Now, we're left with this expression: 3 + 4(7). Still following PEMDAS, we're going to have to evaluate the multiplication next. 4(7) = 28, so we are now left with the simple addition problem 3 + 28, and this is equal to 31. The entire work with no explanation is shown below.

3 + 4(16 - 9) = 3 + 4(7) = 3 + 28 = 31

Hopefully, that's helpful. Let me know if you need further clarification. :)
