Let's break down the expression step-by-step.
1. First, calculate the value of the expression [tex]\(8 \times 7 - 38\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[8 \times 7 = 56\][/tex]
[tex]\[56 - 38 = 18\][/tex]
So, [tex]\(8 \times 7 - 38 = 18\)[/tex].
The given question seems to have an additional typo or formatting issue, but we should assume it is meant to stop at [tex]\(8 \times 7 - 38\)[/tex]. Thus:
[tex]\[8 \times 7 - 38 = 18\][/tex]
Based on the result [tex]\(18\)[/tex], none of the options (a) 53, (b) 56, (c) 45, and (d) 50 match the calculated value. Therefore, it looks like there might be an error or misunderstanding in the options provided.
Nevertheless, the value of [tex]\(8 \times 7 - 38\)[/tex] is 18.
