To simplify the expression 4(20+12)÷(5−3), we need to follow the order of operations, which is parentheses first, then multiplication/division from left to right, and finally addition/subtraction from left to right.
First, we simplify what's inside the parentheses:
20 + 12 = 32
Next, we multiply 4 by 32:
4 * 32 = 128
Finally, we divide 128 by (5 - 3):
5 - 3 = 2
128 ÷ 2 = 64
Therefore, the simplified expression is 64.
