Let's simplify the expression step by step:
Given:
\[ 52 + 4(3 - 7) \]
First, simplify within the parentheses:
\[ 3 - 7 = -4 \]
Now substitute this back into the expression:
\[ 52 + 4(-4) \]
Next, multiply \(4\) by \(-4\):
\[ 4 \times -4 = -16 \]
Now substitute this result back into the expression:
\[ 52 - 16 \]
Finally, perform the subtraction:
\[ 52 - 16 = 36 \]
Since \(36\) is not listed among the options, let's reconfirm:
\[ 52 + 4(3-7) = 52 + 4 \times -4 = 52 - 16 = 36 \]
The answer is \(36\), but it's not among the provided options (10, 41, 9, 26). If you need further clarification or a different expression evaluated, let me know!
