Jessica's teacher wants her to find the value the the expression below.
4 + 2 - [15 + 7 - (6 + 4 )]

Which part of the expression should Jessica work on second?

• 4 + 2, because it is outside the brackets

• 15 + 7, because it is inside the brackets but outside the parentheses

• 2 - 15, because it is partly inside the brackets and partly outside

• 6 + 4, because it is inside the parentheses
