Question

What is the math work to this equation
-6(-5+2)=56?

Answer 1

-6(-5+2)=56

First step; brackets.

-5+2 = -3

-6(-3)=56

-6 x -3 = 18, because a negative times a negative gives you a positive.

I'm not sure where the 56 came from? Or maybe I misunderstood the question? Either way, I hope I helped.

18 ≠ 56

-6(-5+2)=56
