$$-2$$

Solution Steps

Anything divided by one gives itself.

$$5-\frac{3}{1}\times \frac{8}{1}+\frac{21}{1}-\frac{4}{1}$$

Anything divided by one gives itself.

$$5-3\times \frac{8}{1}+\frac{21}{1}-\frac{4}{1}$$

Anything divided by one gives itself.

$$5-3\times 8+\frac{21}{1}-\frac{4}{1}$$

Multiply 3 and 8 to get 24.

$$5-24+\frac{21}{1}-\frac{4}{1}$$

Subtract 24 from 5 to get -19.

$$-19+\frac{21}{1}-\frac{4}{1}$$

Anything divided by one gives itself.

$$-19+21-\frac{4}{1}$$

Add -19 and 21 to get 2.

$$2-\frac{4}{1}$$

Anything divided by one gives itself.

$$2-4$$

Subtract 4 from 2 to get -2.

$$-2$$

Factor
