Certainly! Let's solve the expression step by step:
[tex]\[ 12 - (7 + \frac{36}{4}) \times 5 - 7 \][/tex]
1. Perform the division inside the parentheses first:
[tex]\[ \frac{36}{4} = 9 \][/tex]
2. Substitute the division result back into the expression:
[tex]\[ 12 - (7 + 9) \times 5 - 7 \][/tex]
3. Perform the addition inside the parentheses next:
[tex]\[ 7 + 9 = 16 \][/tex]
4. Substitute the addition result back into the expression:
[tex]\[ 12 - 16 \times 5 - 7 \][/tex]
5. Perform the multiplication:
[tex]\[ 16 \times 5 = 80 \][/tex]
6. Substitute the multiplication result back into the expression:
[tex]\[ 12 - 80 - 7 \][/tex]
7. Perform the first subtraction:
[tex]\[ 12 - 80 = -68 \][/tex]
8. Perform the final subtraction:
[tex]\[ -68 - 7 = -75 \][/tex]
So, the result of the expression [tex]\( 12 - (7 + \frac{36}{4}) \times 5 - 7 \)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ -75 \][/tex]
