Question

Which expression has a negative value?

A) 7+3(−4)(2)

B) −212−3

C) (15−7)−(9−3)

D) −5[7+(−14)]−30

Answer 1

Option B) -212-3 has a negative value.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is option B) -212-3.

To determine which expression has a negative value, we need to evaluate each option.

A) 7+3(-4)(2) = 7+3*-8 = 7-24 = -17

B) -212-3 = -215

C) (15-7)-(9-3) = 8-6 = 2

D) -5[7+(-14)]-30 = -5*(-7)-30 = 35-30 = 5

Based on the evaluations, it is clear that option B) has a negative value.
