#15#

Explanation:

There are two terms. Calculate an answer for each separately and then add the answers together at the end.

In each term, simplify the brackets first.

#color(blue)(7xx(16/2^3))" "+" " color(green)(5-4)#

#=color(blue)(7xx(16/8))" "+" " color(green)(1)#

#=color(blue)(7xx2)" "+" " color(green)(1)#

#=color(blue)(14)" "+" " color(green)(1)#

#=15#
