#37#

Explanation:

#(20+ 35+ 2color(blue)((25+ 40)) ) \div 5#

This is all one term, so you have to work inside the bracket first.
Multiply first, then add.

=#(20+ 35+ color(blue)(2(65)) ) \div 5#

=#(20+ 35+ color(blue)(130) ) \div 5#

=#(color(red)(20+ 35+ 130) ) \div 5#

=#color(red)(185)div5#

=#37#
