Question

Negative 1 minus 2 multiplied by negative 4 multiplied by 2

Answer 1

We are given the following operation:

`-1-2(-4*2)`

To solve this operation we will first solve the product inside the parenthesis. Since the factor has opposite signs the result must be negative. Solving the operations:

`-1-2(-8)`

Now we solve the produce to the right since the factors have the same sign the result must be positive:

`-1+16`

Now we solve the final subtraction:

`15`

Therefore, the result of the operation is 15.
