The answer is False.
To simplify the expression:
3 + 5*(-7)
We need to follow the PEMDAS rule, that is, first, we have to solve operations in parentheses; then, we solve those related to exponents, following by multiplications, divisions, and finally additions and subtractions.
To simplify:
3 + 5*(-7)
We need to find, first, the multiplication of 5 times -7 or:
5 * (-7) = -35
Then, we sum this result to 3
3 + (-35) =
3 - 35 =
-32
The final result is -32.
