Question

Evaluate the expression.

-66/(-3) + (-4) - (-5)

Answer 1

23

Explanation:

Simplify the following:

(-66)/(-3) - 4 - -5

The gcd of -66 and -3 is -3, so (-66)/(-3) = (-3×22)/(-3×1) = (-3)/(-3)×22 = 22:

22 - 4 - -5

-(-5) = 5:

22 - 4 + 5

22 + 5 = 27:

27 - 4

| 2 | 7

- | | 4

| 2 | 3:

Answer: 23
