Answer 1

Finding the Value of an Expression

Simplifying the expression using BODMAS.

$9+\left[\right\{2$of $35÷(3+5-1)\}+15-2]$ ; Solving open brackets-Addition

$=9+\left[\right\{2\times 35÷(8-1)\}+15-2]$ ; Solving open brackets-Subtraction

$=9+\left[\right\{2\times 35÷7\}+15-2]$ ; Solving curly brackets- Division

$=9+\left[\right\{2\times 5\}+15-2]$ ; Solving curly brackets- Multiplication

$=9+[10+15-2]$ ; Solving square brackets- Addition

$=9+[25-2]$ ; Solving square brackets -Subtraction

$=9+23$ ; Addition

$=32$

Hence, the value of the expression is $32$.
