=30 =30

Explanation:

Division operation within 1st bracket(or Parentheses ) is done first
6 + 3[(cancel12^3 / cancel4) + 5]
=6 + 3[3 + 5]
Now operation on third bracket( Parentheses ) gives
=6 + 3*8
Now operation of multiplication comes,it gives
=6 + 24
Then operation of addition gives the result
=30
PEMDAS->"Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, and Addition and Subtraction". Rule is thus followed in order
