None of these

Let’s break this down:

- Start with the math inside the brackets: 40 + 24 = 64

- Next, divide by 8: 64 ÷ 8 = 8

- Then, multiply by 18: 8 × 18 = 144

- Now, the equation looks like: 144 – ? = 126

- Solve for ?: 144 – 126 = 18

So, the right answer is option 4: 18.

Here’s a bullet list with the options:

- Option 1: 17 – Too low, since 144 – 17 = 127

- Option 2: 19 – Too high, since 144 – 19 = 125

- Option 3: 21 – Off, since 144 – 21 = 123

- Option 4: 18 – ?? 144 – 18 = 126 (This matches!)

- Option 5: None of these – Not needed because option 4 is spot on.
