#15+4(5-3) + 6(18 -: 3)#

To simplify this, we will use PEMDAS, shown here:

This is a common method to simplify expressions, and you can remember it using:
Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sandy

We also start from inside to outside.

First, simplify the expressions inside the parentheses :

#15+4(2) + 6(6)#

Multiply:

#15 + 8 + 36#

And finally, add:
#59#

Hope this helps!
