First we have to work out everything inside the parentheses (according to PEMDAS):
9 × 2 = 18
4 - 2 = 2
Now, we can rewrite the expression:
4 + 18 ÷ 2 + 1
According to PEMDAS, we should complete the division in the middle first:
18 ÷ 2 = 9
Now we can rewrite the expression again:
4 + 9 + 1
And now it's as simple as just adding the three numbers together:
4 + 9 + 1 = 14
Your final answer is 14. :)
