Follow BODMAS rule to solve this question, as per the order given below, Step-1: Parts of an equation enclosed in 'Brackets' must be solved first and in the bracket, Step-2: Any mathematical 'Of' or 'Exponent' must be solved next, Step-3: Next, the parts of the equation that contain 'Division' and 'Multiplication' are calculated, Step-4: Last but not least, the parts of the equation that contain 'Addition' and 'Subtraction' should be calculated. Given expression is, x = 5 – 2 [9 ÷ 3 × 6 + 2 (3 of 7 – 2)] ⇒ x = 5 – 2 [3 × 6 + 2 (3 × 7 – 2)] ⇒ x = 5 – 2 [18 + 2 (21 – 2)] ⇒ x = 5 – 2 [18 + 2 × 19] ⇒ x = 5 – 2 [18 + 38] ⇒ x = 5 – 2 × 56 ⇒ x = 5 – 112 ∴ x = -107
