Show Solution
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
- Translate each symbol: \( \times \to + \), \( - \to \times \), \( \div \to + \), \( + \to - \).
- The expression \( (3 - 15 \div 19) \times 8 + 6 \) becomes \( (3 \times 15 + 19) + 8 - 6 \).
- Simplifying the bracket and then the remaining terms in order gives the final value.
So the correct answer is 2.
