Solve 11+4(3)-4(3-(2+6+4+9-12(1.5))+5)=

$$11 + 4 ( 3 ) - 4 ( 3 - ( 2 + 6 + 4 + 9 - 12 ( 1.5 ) ) + 5 ) =$$

Evaluate

$$3$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 4 and 3 to get 12.

$$11+12-4\left(3-\left(2+6+4+9-12\times 1.5\right)+5\right)$$

Add 11 and 12 to get 23.

$$23-4\left(3-\left(2+6+4+9-12\times 1.5\right)+5\right)$$

Add 2 and 6 to get 8.

$$23-4\left(3-\left(8+4+9-12\times 1.5\right)+5\right)$$

Add 8 and 4 to get 12.

$$23-4\left(3-\left(12+9-12\times 1.5\right)+5\right)$$

Add 12 and 9 to get 21.

$$23-4\left(3-\left(21-12\times 1.5\right)+5\right)$$

Multiply 12 and 1.5 to get 18.

$$23-4\left(3-\left(21-18\right)+5\right)$$

Subtract 18 from 21 to get 3.

$$23-4\left(3-3+5\right)$$

Subtract 3 from 3 to get 0.

$$23-4\left(0+5\right)$$

Add 0 and 5 to get 5.

$$23-4\times 5$$

Multiply 4 and 5 to get 20.

$$23-20$$

Subtract 20 from 23 to get 3.

$$3$$

Factor

$$3$$
