Evaluate the expression:
\$ 10 − (4 + 2) \div 2 times 7 \$

The given expression

\$ 10 − (4 + 2) \div 2 times 7 \$

To evaluate the expression, let’s follow the PEMDAS rule

Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)

Let’s solve the expression inside the parentheses first, and then we can move forward

4 + 2 = 6

\$ 10 − 6 \div 2 times 7 \$

Next, solve the division then simplify

\$ 6 \div 2 = 3 \$

\$ 10 − 3 times 7 \$

Then multiply 3 by 7

\$ 3 times 7 = 21 \$

10 - 21

Finally, we perform subtraction:

10 - 21 = - 11

So, the value of the expression is -11.

This is the correct answer as it matches the calculated result. It reflects the computation of the expression according to the order of operations

-11

This result is not consistent with the calculated value. It seems like a different order of operations was used to obtain this result

-44

This answer is incorrect as it doesn’t match the calculated result. It appears to be a result of adding only 10 and 7, without considering the other operations

28

This result does not match the calculated result. It appears to be an incorrect result, possibly obtained by misinterpreting the order of operations or making a calculation error
