Explanation:

Using PEMDAS rule

Parentheses, Exponents , Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction


\sf{4 [ 3 + 3(5 - 1) ]}

Subtract 1 from 5


\longrightarrow{ \sf{4 [3 + 3 * 4  ]}}

Multiply the numbers : 3 and 4


\longrightarrow{ \sf{4 [ 3 + 12  ]}}

Add the numbers : 3 and 12


\longrightarrow{ \sf{4 * 15}}

Multiply the numbers : 4 and 15


\longrightarrow{ \sf{60}}

Hope I helped!
