Question

− 4 − [2+4( − 6) − 4 −(2²-5×21)]

Answer 1

1

Explanation:

First, solve four your last bracket, 2 squared is 4 and minus 5 is -1 times 21 is -21. Yet because the outer symbol is a negative, all signs change-making 21 positive. Solve 4*-6, and you get -24. This leaves you with [2-24-4+21] that gives you -5. Yet, because the outer sympol is a negative, 5 becomes positive. This leaves you with 1.

Answer 2

71

Explanation:

− 4 − [2 + 4(− 6) − 4 − (2²- 5×21)]

− 4 − [2 + 4(− 6) − 4 − (4 - 5×21)]

− 4 − [2 + (-24) − 4 − (4 - 105)]

− 4 − [-22 − 4 − (-101)]

− 4 − [-22 − 4 + 101]

− 4 − [-22 + 97]

− 4 − [-22 + 97]

− 4 − [75]

− 4 − 75
