Question

11+5(−3+1)−2=−(4−8)−5

Answer 1

True

Explanation:

1. Solve what's in parentheses: -3 + 1 = -2, 4 - 8 = -2
2. Plug -2 and -2 in: 11 + 5(-2) - 2 = -(-2) - 5
3. Simplify: 11 + 5(-2) - 2 = 2 - 5
4. 5 × -2 = -10
5. Plug -10 in: 11 + -10 - 2 = 2 - 5
6. 2 - 5 = -3
7. Plug -3 in: 11 + -10 - 2 = -3
8. 11 + -10 = 1
9. Plug 1 in: 1 - 2 = -3
10. 1 - 2 = -3, so we know it's correct

I hope this helps!
