To simplify the expression \( 12 - 23 + 4 \div 2 + 24 \), we will use the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).

  1. Division first: \[ 4 \div 2 = 2 \]

  2. Now substitute back into the expression: \[ 12 - 23 + 2 + 24 \]

  3. Perform the operations from left to right:

    • Start with \( 12 - 23 \): \[ 12 - 23 = -11 \]
    • Now add \( 2 \): \[ -11 + 2 = -9 \]
    • Now add \( 24 \): \[ -9 + 24 = 15 \]

So, the simplified result is \( 15 \).

However, this does not match any of the provided responses. Please double-check the original expression or the options given.
