#55#

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

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*(11-6)#

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

#35+4*5#

We can multiply the #4# and #5# to get

#35+20#, which is equal to #55#.

Hope this helps!
