The value of the expression is0.

Step by step solution

01

Step-1 – Order of operations

To evaluate any expression involving more than one operation, follow the below order of operations:

  • First evaluate expressions inside grouping symbols like parentheses ( ) or brackets [ ].
  • Evaluate the exponents.
  • Perform Multiplication and division from left to right.
  • Perform addition and subtraction from left to right.
02

Step-2 – Evaluate the expressions inside grouping symbols

In order to evaluate the given expression, first substitute 4 for x and 2 for y and then subtract the numbers inside parenthesis first and then subtract the resulting numbers inside bracket as shown below

0.5[y鈭�(x鈭�2)]=0.5[2鈭�(4鈭�2)]=0.5[2鈭�(2)]=0.5[2鈭�2]=0.5[0]

03

Step-3 – Multiply the numbers

Now to simplify further, multiply the resulting numbers to get

0.5[0]=0

Thus, the value of the expression is 0.
