You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\left(20 - 17 + 2\right) \left(16 - 4 - 9\right)\)

MathBot Answer:

\[\left(20 - 17 + 2\right) \left(16 - 4 - 9\right) = 15\]

\[\begin{aligned}\left(20 - 17 + 2\right) \left(16 - 4 - 9\right)& = \left(20 - 17 + 2\right) \cdot \left(16 - 4 - 9\right)\\& = \left(3 + 2\right) \cdot \left(16 - 4 - 9\right)\\& = 5 \cdot \left(16 - 4 - 9\right)\\& = 5 \cdot \left(12 - 9\right)\\& = 5 \cdot 3\\& = 15\end{aligned}\]
