1 answer

To simplify the expression \(4(11 + 7) ÷ (7 - 5)\), follow these steps:

  1. Simplify inside the parentheses:

    • \(11 + 7 = 18\)
    • \(7 - 5 = 2\)

  2. Substitute these values back into the expression: \[ 4(18) ÷ (2) \]

  3. Multiply \(4\) by \(18\): \[ 4 \times 18 = 72 \]

  4. Now divide \(72\) by \(2\): \[ 72 ÷ 2 = 36 \]

Thus, the simplified result is \(36\).

The answer is 36.
