26

Simplifying the Mathematical Expression

To solve the expression $45 - [38 - \{80 \div 4 - (8 - 12 \div 3) \div 4\}]$, we follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS): Parentheses/Brackets, Orders/Exponents, Division and Multiplication (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

Step-by-Step Calculation

  • Innermost Parentheses: Calculate $(8 - 12 \div 3)$.
    • First, perform the division: $12 \div 3 = 4$.
    • Then, perform the subtraction: $8 - 4 = 4$.
    • So, $(8 - 12 \div 3) = 4$.
  • Substitute and Simplify Braces: The expression becomes $45 - [38 - \{80 \div 4 - 4 \div 4\}]$.
    • Perform divisions inside the braces from left to right: $80 \div 4 = 20$ and $4 \div 4 = 1$.
    • Perform the subtraction inside the braces: $20 - 1 = 19$.
    • So, $\{80 \div 4 - 4 \div 4\} = 19$.
  • Substitute and Simplify Brackets: The expression becomes $45 - [38 - 19]$.
    • Perform the subtraction inside the brackets: $38 - 19 = 19$.
    • So, $[38 - 19] = 19$.
  • Final Calculation: The expression simplifies to $45 - 19$.
    • Perform the final subtraction: $45 - 19 = 26$.

Final Answer

The value of the expression is 26.
