I've used let and $(( )) before, they work great!

I feel like ${} is used for variable expansion, not arithmetic, but I could be mixing it up.

I practiced a similar question, and I believe let is valid, so it must be one of the others.

I think $[] is the one that doesn't work for arithmetic, but I can't recall exactly why.

I remember using $(( )) for arithmetic, but I'm not sure about ${}.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. I know $(()), let, and even the command substitution $(command) can be used. But I don't recall ever seeing the ${} syntax used for arithmetic evaluation. I'll go with that as the invalid option.

Ah, I remember learning about this in class. The $[] syntax is not a valid way to evaluate arithmetic expressions in Bash. I'm confident that's the correct answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know we can use $(()), but I'm not familiar with the $[] syntax. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm pretty sure the ${} option is not a valid way to evaluate arithmetic expressions in Bash. I'll focus on the other choices and try to eliminate the invalid ones.
