Question

Evaluate the following expression

[(16 + 29) divided by 5 - 5] x 7

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \([(16 + 29) \div 5 - 5] \times 7\), we start by following the order of operations:

1. **Parentheses**: Calculate \(16 + 29\).
\[
16 + 29 = 45
\]

2. **Division**: Now, substitute back into the expression:
\[
(45 \div 5) - 5
\]
Calculate \(45 \div 5\):
\[
45 \div 5 = 9
\]

3. **Subtraction**: Now we subtract 5:
\[
9 - 5 = 4
\]

4. **Multiplication**: Finally, substitute this back into the original expression:
\[
4 \times 7 = 28
\]

Thus, the value of the expression is \(\boxed{28}\).
