Answer:

16

Explanation:

This problem requires PEMDAS

Parentheses ( )

Exponents ^

Multiplication

Division

Add

Subtract

Start by solving anything in parentheses. There's an exponent within the parentheses, so we change that 2^2 into 4 and also make sure to multiply 5 x 2 before subtracting.

-4 - (2 + -24 - 4 - (4-10))

-4 - (2 + -24 - 4 - (-6))

Again, solve parentheses first.

-4 - (-22 - 4 - (-6))

-4 - (-26 + 6)

-4 - (-20)

-4 + 20

Answer is 16
