$32$

There are 3 terms. work out each one separately and and the single answers in the last step.

$color(magenta)(23)color(blue)(-12 div4 xx2) color(red)( +15)$

= $color(magenta)(23)color(blue)(-12/4 xx2) color(red)( +15)$

= $color(magenta)(23)color(blue)(-3xx2) color(red)( +15)$

= $color(magenta)(23)color(blue)(-6) color(red)( +15)$

To avoid confusion, write all the additions at the beginning, then the subtractions:

= $color(magenta)(23) color(red)(+15)color(blue)(-6)$

= $32$
