Answer:

-4

Explanation:

Wehn dealing with order of operations, we can remember the expression PEMDAS, which stands for parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction.

So, our first step in the above problem is the parentheses:


2(3-5)^3+4(-4+7)\\2(-2)^3+4(3)

The second step is exponents:


2(-2)^3+4(3)\\2(-8)+4(3)

The third step is multiplication:


2(-8)+4(3)\\-16+12

The fourth and final step is addition:


-16+12\\-4
