I got 6 but it keeps saying it's the wrong answer and it's highly annoying.

OpenStudy (nubeer):

it's not 6.. try solving again (-4)^2 -5 (-4) +2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-16-5(-4)+2 -16-(-20)+2 -16+20+2 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first do (-4)^2 =16 -5(-4)+2=16+20+2

OpenStudy (nubeer):

(-4)^2 =16 now try it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remember that if u do (-4)^2 its -4 multiplied by -4 and negatove times negatove is positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16+20+2 38?

OpenStudy (nubeer):

yeah.. squaring any negative number gives always a positive number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dont over think things =P
