Question

Solve: 18[24 + (42 - 5 • 2)]

Answer 1

The given expression is

$18\lbrack24+(42-5\cdot2)\rbrack$

First, we solve the product

$18\lbrack24+(42-10)\rbrack$

Then, we solve the difference

$18\lbrack24+32\rbrack$

Now, we add

$18\lbrack56\rbrack$

At last, we solve the product

$18\lbrack56\rbrack=1008$

Hence, the answer is 1008.
