Answer:

-42

Explanation:

by PEMDAS, we have to multiple before we can subtract or add so start by multiplying 5*2*5 (easy to multiply 2*5 which equals 10 and then multiply it by the second 5 so 10*5=50; same thing for 4*2=8). now we can subtract 8 from 50 which we can rewrite as -50+8 if it's easier to think of it that way instead of 8-50 and we get a negative number (another way to think about it is we know the bigger number is negative so we subtract the big number and the small number and then put the negative sign in front like this: -(50-8)= -42)
