Explanation

Following BODMAS: 52 - 4 * (17 - 12) + 4 * 7 = 52 - 4 * 5 + 28 = 52 - 20 + 28 = 60.

AI explanation

Following the order of operations, solve the parentheses first to get 5, then multiply by 4 to get 20. The equation simplifies to 52 minus 20 plus 28. Subtracting 20 from 52 gives 32, and adding 28 results in 60.
