• A. 423
• B. 490
• C. 940
• D. 324

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 490

The final answer to the expression is 490.

To solve this, follow the standard BODMAS / PEMDAS rule (Parentheses/Brackets, Orders, Multiplication & Division, Addition & Subtraction):

$\text{Given expression: } 234 \times [8 - (6 + 2) \times 3] + 4234$

1. Solve inside the parentheses $( )$ first:
   $6 + 2 = 8$
   The expression becomes:
   $234 \times [8 - 8 \times 3] + 4234$

2. Solve inside the square brackets $[\ ]$ (Multiplication before subtraction):

   • Multiply: $8 \times 3 = 24$

   • Subtract: $8 - 24 = -16$

   The expression becomes:
   $234 \times [-16] + 4234$

3. Perform multiplication:
   $234 \times (-16) = -3744$

4. Perform final addition:
   $-3744 + 4234 = 490$
