To evaluate the given expression, we follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):
1. First, we perform the division inside the parentheses: 15 ÷ 3 = 5.
2. Next, we subtract the result of the division from 72: 7 2 - 5 = 12.
3. Then, we multiply the result of the subtraction by 2: 12 x 2 = 24.
4. Finally, we add 2 to the previous result: 24 + 2 = 26.
Therefore, the value of the expression is 26.
None of the given options (A, B, C, D) match the correct answer of 26.
