c

1 answer

To simplify the expression \( 52 + 8(4 - 7) \), we follow the order of operations:

  1. First, simplify the expression inside the parentheses: \[ 4 - 7 = -3 \]

  2. Next, multiply by 8: \[ 8 \times -3 = -24 \]

  3. Now, add this result to 52: \[ 52 + (-24) = 52 - 24 = 28 \]

So, the simplified expression is \( 28 \).

None of the answer options (1, -3, -1) match the result of 28.
