Problem

Evaluate the expression:
{ [ 3 + \$ | - ( 5 − 2 )| \$ ] × 2 } − 4

2

Step

To evaluate the expression:

{ [ 3 + \$ | - ( 5 − 2 )| \$ ] × 2 } − 4

3

Step

Inside the innermost parentheses, we have

\$ | - ( 5 − 2 )| = | - 3 | \$

4

Step

The absolute value of - 3 is 3, we have:

\$ | - 3 | = 3\$

5

Step

Then we add 3 to 3, which equals

3 + 3 = 6

6

Step

After that, we multiply 6 by 2, which equals

\$ 6 times 2 = 12 \$

7

Step

Finally, we subtract 4 from 12, which equals

12 - 4 = 8

8

Solution

Therefore, the evaluated expression is 8.
