answer is 13
Explanation:
Using the BODMAS rule,bracket of division or multiplication, addition or subtraction.
This applies the rule:
therefore,
23- (12+6)+8 ,calculate within bracket first
=23-(18)+8
now remove the bracket,by multiply by the -1
=23-18+8
the start calculate from the left to right
=23-10
=13
therefore the answer is 13
