Answer: 12

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

First we need to substitute the value of the variable into the expression and simplify.

b-(b+a×4c÷4) = 1 - (1 + -6 × 4(2) ÷ 4).

Now we need to solve 1 - (1 + -6 × 4(2) ÷ 4).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1 - (1 + -6 × 4(2) ÷ 4)

|

| First, we cancel out 4 and 4.

\/

1 - (1 - 6 × 2)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next, we multiply -6 and 2 to get -12.

1 - (1 - 12)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then we subtract 12 from 1 to get -11.

1 - (-11)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The opposite of -11 is 11.

1 + 11.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Add 1 and 11 to get, you guessed it, 12!
