150

Explanation:

3[6+4(4+7)]

To simplify this, I'm going to use this order of operations called PEMDAS:

Following this image, we know that the first thing we have to simplify is the stuff inside a parenthesis/bracket. We also go from inside to outside, so we simplify 4+7 first:

3[6+4(11)]

Now multiplication:
3[6+44]

Add 6+44:
3[50]

Multiply:
150

Hope this helps!
