Plug the variables into the expression

55

Explanation:

Because a=1, b=1, and c=4a=1,b=1,andc=4, you would plug those numbers into the expression.

c-(a+3)+4+b " becomes " 4-(1+3)+4+1c(a+3)+4+b becomes 4(1+3)+4+1

Then the problem is a case of simplifying.

Calculate inside the parenthesis first (1+3)(1+3) to get 44

Your expression then becomes:

4-(4) +4+14(4)+4+1. You would then simplify further:

= 4-4+4+1=44+4+1

=5=5.
