To solve this expression, we follow the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS:
First, we calculate what is inside the inner parentheses:
3 + 6 = 9
Now we rewrite the expression with the calculated value:
[3 x 9 - 5] + 20) x 2
Next, we perform the multiplication:
3 x 9 = 27
Now we rewrite the expression with the calculated value:
[27 - 5] + 20 x 2
Next, we perform the subtraction:
27 - 5 = 22
Now we rewrite the expression with the calculated value:
[22] + 20 x 2
Next, we perform the multiplication:
20 x 2 = 40
Now the expression is:
[22] + 40
Finally, we perform the addition:
22 + 40 = 62
Therefore, the value of the expression is 62.
So, the correct answer is A. 62.
{[3 x (3 + 6) - 5] + 20} x 2
