Answer:

About 20

{19 exactly}

Explanation:

Evaluate means find approximate value without exact calculation (usually done with great numbers or with fractions)

-8 is approximately -(2+5) so the sum is about 0

34-14 = 30-10 = 20

20 + 0 = 0

The exact calculation would be:

34 -8 - 14 + 2 + 5 = 34 - 14 - 8 + 7 = 20 - 1 = 19
