Answer 1

`-7+5[(-5)^2+(-32)]=-42`

Explanation:

First solve the sums that are within the parentheses.

Remember that if the numbers have equal signs then they are added and the same sign is placed.

If the numbers have different signs they are subtracted and the sign of the major is placed

So:

`-3-2=-5`

`2^3 -40 = 8-40=-32`

Then we have the following expression:

`-7+5[(-5)^2+(-32)]`

Remember that by multiplying signs you get:

(+) * (+) = +

(-) * (-) = +

(+) * (-) = -

(-) * (+) = -

Then:

`-7+5[(-5)^2+(-32)]=-7+5[(-5)*(-5) -32]`

`-7+5[(-5)^2+(-32)]=-7+5[25 -32]`

`-7+5[(-5)^2+(-32)]=-7+5[-7]`

`-7+5[(-5)^2+(-32)]=-7-35`

`-7+5[(-5)^2+(-32)]=-42`
