Answer 1

To solve the expression \((-12 \div 3) \times 2 + 23\), we follow the order of operations (parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division from left to right, addition and subtraction from left to right):

1. Calculate \(-12 \div 3\): \[ -12 \div 3 = -4 \]

2. Multiply the result by 2: \[ -4 \times 2 = -8 \]

3. Add 23 to the result: \[ -8 + 23 = 15 \]

Thus, the final answer is: \[ \boxed{15} \]
