46

Simplify Mathematical Expression

To simplify the expression $9 + (45 \div 9) - 8 \times (-4)$, we follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS): Parentheses/Brackets, Exponents/Orders, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

Order of Operations Steps

  1. Parentheses/Division: First, calculate the division inside the parentheses.

    $45 \div 9 = 5$

    The expression becomes: $9 + 5 - 8 \times (-4)$.
  2. Multiplication: Next, perform the multiplication.

    $8 \times (-4) = -32$

    The expression is now: $9 + 5 - (-32)$.
  3. Subtraction/Addition: Simplify the subtraction of a negative number and perform addition from left to right.

    $9 + 5 - (-32) = 9 + 5 + 32$

    $9 + 5 = 14$ $14 + 32 = 46$

The simplified value of the expression is 46.
