4+3[8-3*2+4(5-1)]
I got 68
4+3[8-3*2+4(5-1)]
4 + 3(2 + 16)
4 + 3(18) = 58

The order to solving!
To solve this expression, we need to follow the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS or BIDMAS), which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).
Let's break down the expression step by step:
1. Inside the parentheses, we have:
5-1 = 4
So the expression becomes: 4+3[8-3*2+4(4)]
2. Next, solve the multiplication: 3 * 2 = 6
The expression becomes: 4+3[8-6+4(4)]
3. Inside the second set of parentheses, we have:
4(4) = 16
The expression becomes: 4+3[8-6+16]
4. Next, solve the addition and subtraction inside the brackets:
8-6 = 2
The expression becomes: 4+3[2+16]
5. Now solve the addition inside the brackets:
2+16 = 18
The expression becomes: 4+3[18]
6. Finally, solve the multiplication:
3 * 18 = 54
The expression becomes: 4+54
7. Solve the addition, and the final answer is:
4 + 54 = 58
So the correct answer is 58, not 68.
