Explanation:

please, write the problem statement properly. it is not clear what you are asking for.

for example, the way how you wrote it, the first expression would be

58 × 5 - 6

and that would be (remember, multiplication and division happen before any additions or subtractions)

58 × 5 - 6 = 290 - 6 = 284

nothing on the right side of numbers fits to that.

so, I am speculating. did you mean

58 × (5-6) ?

in that case we get

58 × (5-6) = 58 × (-1) = -58

and then I assume that the right side of all the numbers includes also operations (like +, -, ...), as I see no -58 in the list of numbers.

and then I just propose that the right side could look like

-2×5 - 48 (which would also be -58).

but again, this could be something completely different.

so, please, write your problem statement again. and carefully.
