3 steps
  1. First, evaluate the expression inside the parentheses.

    27+29=5627 + 29 = 56

    The expression now becomes:

    140−56+48÷16140 - 56 + 48 \div 16
  2. Next, perform the division operation, as it has higher precedence than addition or subtraction.

    48÷16=348 \div 16 = 3

    The expression now becomes:

    140−56+3140 - 56 + 3
  3. Finally, perform the subtraction and addition from left to right.

    140−56=84140 - 56 = 84 84+3=8784 + 3 = 87

    The final answer is 87.
