The correct Answer is:
To simplify the expression `8.7 -[ 7.6 -{6.5 - (5.4 -(4.3 -2))}]`, we will follow the order of operations, which requires us to solve the innermost brackets first and work our way outwards. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Start with the innermost bracket**: - We have `(4.3 - 2)`. - Calculate: \[ 4.3 - 2 = 2.3 \] - Now, replace `(4.3 - 2)` with `2.3` in the expression: \[ 8.7 - [7.6 - {6.5 - (5.4 - 2.3)}] \] 2. **Next, solve the next innermost bracket**: - We have `(5.4 - 2.3)`. - Calculate: \[ 5.4 - 2.3 = 3.1 \] - Replace `(5.4 - 2.3)` with `3.1` in the expression: \[ 8.7 - [7.6 - {6.5 - 3.1}] \] 3. **Now, solve the next bracket**: - We have `{6.5 - 3.1}`. - Calculate: \[ 6.5 - 3.1 = 3.4 \] - Replace `{6.5 - 3.1}` with `3.4` in the expression: \[ 8.7 - [7.6 - 3.4] \] 4. **Next, solve the remaining bracket**: - We have `[7.6 - 3.4]`. - Calculate: \[ 7.6 - 3.4 = 4.2 \] - Replace `[7.6 - 3.4]` with `4.2` in the expression: \[ 8.7 - 4.2 \] 5. **Finally, perform the last subtraction**: - Calculate: \[ 8.7 - 4.2 = 4.5 \] ### Final Answer: The simplified result of the expression `8.7 -[ 7.6 -{6.5 - (5.4 -(4.3 -2))}]` is **4.5**.
