Answer:

The value of the expression is;

$40$

Explanation:

Given the expression;

$\lbrack(12+4)\div2\rbrack\times(3+2)$

let us solve according to the order of the brackets.

$\begin{gathered} \lbrack(12+4)\div2\rbrack\times(3+2) \\ \lbrack(16)\div2\rbrack\times(5) \\ \lbrack\frac{16}{2}\rbrack\times(5) \\ 8\times5 \\ =40 \\ \lbrack(12+4)\div2\rbrack\times(3+2)=40 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the value of the expression is;

$40$
