5{-2+3[4-2(3+5)]}
simplify

Answer 1

please show steps if you can i would really appreciate it

Answer 2

start working with the inner most bracketed term. slowly work your way out.
5[-2 + 3[4-2(8)]] = 5[-2+3[4-16]] = 5[-2+3(-12)] = 5[-2 -36] = 5(-38) = -190

hope that helped :)

Answer 3

thanks a bunch xD

Answer 4

5{-2+3[4-2(3+5)]}

-10+15[4-2(3+5)]
