Solution :

` tag. - Use `

...

` for paragraphs and `
` for line breaks. - Place lines containing `...` in their own `

...

` or put `
` before and after. - Use HTML ``/`` and MathML ``. NO LaTeX (`$...$`). - Do NOT use HTML entities like `−` or `−`, use raw unicode like `-`, `+`, `=`, `×`, `÷`. - Do NOT use `display="block"` in `` tags. - State the correct answer clearly at the beginning. Let's double-check all tags and MathML syntax: ```html 29

The correct answer is 29.

To find the value of the given mathematical expression, we follow the standard order of operations (BODMAS / PEMDAS):

1. Parentheses / Brackets (innermost first)
2. Orders (powers, roots)
3. Division and Multiplication (from left to right)
4. Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)

The given expression is:

3 + 2 × [ 7 + ( 5 + 7 ) ÷ 2 ]

Step 1: Simplify inside the innermost round brackets:

5 + 7 = 12

Substituting this back into the expression:

3 + 2 × [ 7 + 12 ÷ 2 ]

Step 2: Perform the division inside the square brackets:

12 ÷ 2 = 6

Substituting this value back into the expression:

3 + 2 × [ 7 + 6 ]

Step 3: Complete the addition inside the square brackets:

7 + 6 = 13

So the expression simplifies to:

3 + 2 × 13

Step 4: Perform multiplication before addition:

2 × 13 = 26

Step 5: Perform the final addition:

3 + 26 = 29

Thus, the final simplified value of the expression is 29.
