Question

Simplify;

$17+\left[\left\{2\times \left(-1\right)-\left(4+3\right)\right\}\right]$

Answer 1

$$\begin{gathered} 17+\left[\left\{2\times \left(-1\right)-\left(4+3\right)\right\}\right]=17+\left[\left\{2\times \left(-1\right)-7\right\}\right] \\ =17+\left[\left\{\left(-2\right)-7\right\}\right] \\ =17+\left(-9\right) \\ =17-9 \\ =8 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the simplified answer is$8.$
