55

Explanation:

For problems like these, we have to remember our order of operations, or PEMDAS, which stands for

  • Parenthesis
  • Exponents
  • Multiplication
  • Division
  • Addition
  • Subtraction

Meaning, we tackle our operations in this order, but from left to right.

Let's simplify the terms in the parenthesis first. We get

35+4(116)

Further simplifying the terms in the next set of parenthesis, we get

35+45

We can multiply the 4 and 5 to get

35+20, which is equal to 55.

Hope this helps!
