Let's break down the evaluations of both lines of expressions step by step:

### Line 1: \([(−2)+4]+3\)

1. **Calculate \((-2) + 4\)**:
\[
(-2) + 4 = 2
\]

2. **Add 3**:
\[
2 + 3 = 5
\]

So, Line 1 simplifies to:
\[
5
\]

### Line 2: \((-2) + [4 + 3]\)

1. **Calculate \([4 + 3]\)**:
\[
4 + 3 = 7
\]

2. **Add \((-2)\)**:
\[
(-2) + 7 = 5
\]

So, Line 2 simplifies to:
\[
5
\]

### Summary:
- For Line 1: \([(−2)+4]+3 = 5\)
- For Line 2: \((-2) + [4 + 3] = 5\)

Both expressions equal 5.

### Final Answer:
The expressions were correctly simplified to \(5\) for both lines.
