Answer:
5.16 is your answer
Step-by-step explation
fill in your variables with their numbers so
(a - 1.7 * b) + a * c
(2.4 - 1.7 * 3.6) + 2.4 * 3.7
PEMDAS
parentheses first
(2.4 - 1.7 * 3.6)
multiply 1.7 * 3.6 because multiplication is next in PEMDAS
1.7 * 3.6 = 6.12
also multiply your 2.4 * 3.7
2.4 * 3.7 = 8.88
fill in your answers
(2.4 - 6.12) + 8.88
finish your parentheses
2.4 - 6.12 = -3.72
take your answer and move it over
-3.72 + 8.88 =
5.16
