This problem is testing to see if we can simplify this
expression using the correct order of operations.
Given expression:
14 – 4 * [2 + 3 * (8 – 5)] step 0
14 – 4 * [2 + 3 * 3] step 1, simplify (8 – 5)
14 – 4 * [2 + 9] step 2, simplify 3 * 3
14 – 4 * [11] step 3, simplify 2 + 9
14 – 44 step 4, simplify 4 * 11
-30 step 5, simplify 14 - 44
Correctly done, you simplify your expression to Choice C.
