Simplify 4
– 3[4 –2(6 – 3)] ÷ 2.
I will simplify from the inside out: first the parentheses, then the square brackets, being careful to
remember that the "minus" sign on the 3 in front of the brackets goes with the 3. Only once the
grouping parts are done will I do the division, followed by adding in the 4.
4 – 3[4 –2(6 – 3)] ÷ 2
= 4 – 3[4 – 2(3)] ÷ 2
= 4 – 3[4 – 6] ÷ 2
= 4 – 3[–2] ÷ 2
=4+6÷2
=4+3
