lol. just use the order of operations man. You start off with parenthesis which was -8 and -5 later. then start multiplying what needs to be multiplied. 3 * -8, then whatever that equals multiplied by -5. Then you can go ahead and subtract 2 from the product you arrived at. Its all just order of operations.

it helps to put parens around what you do first.
multiply before add/subtract so do this
(3 • –8) – (2 • –5)
OpenStudy (phi):
