Simplify (60 / 3 • 2)-5 + 4

1 answer

Let's simplify the expression step by step:

The expression is \((60 / 3 \cdot 2) - 5 + 4\).

  1. First, calculate \(60 / 3\): \[ 60 / 3 = 20 \]

  2. Now, multiply that result by \(2\): \[ 20 \cdot 2 = 40 \]

  3. Now we have: \[ 40 - 5 + 4 \]

  4. Next, perform the subtraction: \[ 40 - 5 = 35 \]

  5. Finally, add \(4\): \[ 35 + 4 = 39 \]

Thus, the simplified result is: \[ \boxed{39} \]
