Answer to Question #350135 in Algebra for Brian

Question

-8(2×2)+3×7+(-2)

Answer 1

At first we have to do multiplication in parentheses::

$2×2=4,$

so we have:

$-8(2×2)+3×7+(-2)=-8×4+3×7+(-2).$

The next we have to do 2 multiplications:

$-8×4=-32,$

$3×7=21.$

So:

$-8×4+3×7+(-2)=-32+21+(-2)=$

$=-(32-21)+(-2)=-11+(-2)=-13.$

Answer: -13.
