Solve [(-16):(-8)-3]+[4*(4+3-8)+(-6)*2]=

$$[ ( - 16 ) : ( - 8 ) - 3 ] + [ 4 \cdot ( 4 + 3 - 8 ) + ( - 6 ) \cdot 2 ] =$$

Evaluate

$$-17$$

Solution Steps

Divide -16 by -8 to get 2.

$$2-3+4\left(4+3-8\right)-6\times 2$$

Subtract 3 from 2 to get -1.

$$-1+4\left(4+3-8\right)-6\times 2$$

Add 4 and 3 to get 7.

$$-1+4\left(7-8\right)-6\times 2$$

Subtract 8 from 7 to get -1.

$$-1+4\left(-1\right)-6\times 2$$

Multiply 4 and -1 to get -4.

$$-1-4-6\times 2$$

Subtract 4 from -1 to get -5.

$$-5-6\times 2$$

Multiply -6 and 2 to get -12.

$$-5-12$$

Subtract 12 from -5 to get -17.

$$-17$$

Factor

$$-17$$
