Answer 1

In the expression \( [15 + (-5)] + 6 \), the first operation that needs to take place, according to the order of operations, is the addition inside the brackets.

So, you would first simplify \( 15 + (-5) \).

Calculating that gives:

\[ 15 + (-5) = 15 - 5 = 10 \]

So, the result of the first simplification would be \( 10 \).
