Question

Consider the expression -6[5 + (-2)].

Answer 1

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\mathtt{-6[5 + (-2)]}`

`\mathtt{= -6(5 + (-2))}`

`\mathtt{= -6(5 - 2)}`

`\mathtt{= -6(5) -6(-2)}`

`\mathtt{= -30 - (-12)}`

`\mathtt{= -30 + 12}`

`\mathtt{= -18}`

`\huge\textsf{OR EVEN}`

`\mathtt{-6[5 + (-2)]}`

`\mathtt{= -6(5 + (-2))}`

`\mathtt{= -6(5 - 2)}`

`\mathtt{= -6(3)}`

`\mathtt{= -18}`

`\huge\text{Therefore your answer should be:}\\\\\huge\boxed{\mathtt{-18}}\huge\checkmark`
