Sure, let’s evaluate the expression step-by-step.
We need to evaluate the expression:
[tex]\[ 7 + 9 - \left(8 \div 8 \times 3\right) \][/tex]
1. Division and Multiplication:
The first step is to handle the division and multiplication inside the parenthesis. According to the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), we perform the division first:
[tex]\[ 8 \div 8 = 1 \][/tex]
Next, we multiply the result by 3:
[tex]\[ 1 \times 3 = 3 \][/tex]
2. Subtraction:
Now substitute the result back into the original expression:
[tex]\[ 7 + 9 - 3 \][/tex]
Perform the addition and subtraction from left to right:
[tex]\[ 7 + 9 = 16 \][/tex]
Then:
[tex]\[ 16 - 3 = 13 \][/tex]
Therefore, the value of the expression is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{13} \][/tex]
