Solve:
**Disclaimer** I assume that it is supposed to be (25 + 45). If it was, then you may refer to my answer. If the ")" after 45 is just a typo, you may point it out and I will redo it.
Given expression
13 + {16 + 2 - [(25 + 45) × 3] + 9}
Do the parenthesis of the inner most
=13 + {16 + 2 - [70 × 3] + 9}
=13 + {16 + 2 - 210 + 9}
Do addition first, then subtraction
=13 + {18 - 210 + 9}
=13 + {27 - 210}
=13 - 183
=-170
Hope this helps!! :)
