Answer:  The required answers are :

(a) 21,   (b) 26,   (c) 18   and   (d) 37.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to solve the following problems with parentheses solved first.

(a). The given problem is

[tex]4+(5+12).[/tex]

We have

[tex]4+(5+12)=4+17=21.[/tex]

(b) The given problem is

[tex](3+6)+17.[/tex]

We have

[tex](3+6)+17=9+17=26.[/tex]

(c) The given problem is

[tex]4+(5+12).[/tex]

We have

[tex](3+4)+(5+6)=7+11=18.[/tex]

(d) The given problem is

[tex]9+(11+7)+10.[/tex]

We have

[tex]9+(11+7)+10=9+18+10=9+28=37.[/tex]  

Thus, the required answers are :

(a) 21,   (b) 26,   (c) 18   and   (d) 37.
