Solution

(1) 5 − x
Substituting the value of x in the given expression, we get:
5 − 4 = 1

(2) 3 (5 − x)
Substituting the value of x in the given expression, we get:
3(5 − 4)
= 3 × 1
= 3

(3) (5 − x)2
Substituting the value of x in the given expression, we get:
(5 − 4)2
= (1)2
= 1

(4) (x + 2)2
Substituting the value of x in the given expression, we get:
(4 + 2)2
= (6)2
= 36

(5) 3( x + 2)
Substituting the value of x in the given expression, we get:
3(4 + 2)
= 3 (6)
= 3 × 6
= 18

(6) 2 (x + 2) + 3
Substituting the value of x in the given expression, we get:
2 (4 + 2) + 3
= 2 × 6 + 3 (Solving addition in the simple brackets first)
= 12 + 3 (Performing multiplication first)
= 15
