Simplify the following: -3 (-3 (-4-1)-(-3-4)) Group the negative terms in -4-1 together and factor out the minus sign. -4-1 = -(4+1): -3 (-(-3-4)-3-(4+1)) Evaluate 4+1. 4+1 = 5: -3 (-3 (-5)-(-3-4)) Group the negative terms in -3-4 together and factor out the minus sign. -3-4 = -(3+4): -3 (-3 (-5)--(3+4)) Evaluate 3+4. 3+4 = 7: -3 (-3 (-5)-(-7)) Multiply all instances of -1 in -(-7). (-1)^2 = 1: -3 (-3 (-5)+7) Multiply -3 and -5 together. -3 (-5) = 15: -3 (15+7) Evaluate 15+7 using long addition. | 1 | | 1 | 5 + | | 7 | 2 | 2: -322 Multiply -3 and 22 together. -3×22 = -66: Answer: | | -66
