Question

Simply 8 - (-5) - 4(-7)

Answer 1

41

Explanation:

4(-7) is 4* -7 which equals -28

8 - (-5) can be changed to 8 + 5 which equals 13

13 - -28 can be changed to 13 + 28 which equals 41

Answer 2

41

Explanation:

8-(-5)-4(-7)

First, a number minus a negative number is the same as adding a positive number:

8+(+5)-4(-7) or 8+5-4(-7)

Next, you have to multiply -4 and -7:

8+5+28 (a negative times a negative is a positive)

Add together:

13+28=41

Therefore the answer is 41
