Question

Evaluate (whith steps) -3 - 5 (8 + 4) + 16 - 32

Answer 1

The answer is -79 ( I think )

Answer 2

Using the order of operations (PEMDAS), we evaluate the expression as follows:

First, we perform the operations inside the parentheses: 8 + 4 = 12.

Next, we multiply 5 by 12: 5(12) = 60.

Then, we combine the like terms: -3 - 60 + 16 - 32 = -79.

Therefore, -3 - 5 (8 + 4) + 16 - 32 = -79.
