Calculate the value of the expression: 9 - 5 × 6 + {29 - (7 - 2)} ÷ 8.

Question

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Evaluate the expression inside the innermost parentheses: (7 - 2) = 5.
Step 2: Substitute back: 29 - 5 = 24.
Step 3: Divide by 8: 24 ÷ 8 = 3.
Step 4: Evaluate multiplication: 5 × 6 = 30.
Step 5: Substitute all values back into the expression: 9 - 30 + 3.
Step 6: Calculate from left to right: 9 - 30 = -21, then -21 + 3 = -18.

Rechecking the calculation shows the final result is -18, so option 3 is correct.
