Solve -2^4-11*-2^2+18*-2-8

$${ -2 }^{ 4 } -11 \times { -2 }^{ 2 } +18 \times -2-8$$

Evaluate

$$-72$$

Solution Steps

Calculate -2 to the power of 4 and get 16.

$$16-11\left(-2\right)^{2}+18\left(-2\right)-8$$

Calculate -2 to the power of 2 and get 4.

$$16-11\times 4+18\left(-2\right)-8$$

Multiply 11 and 4 to get 44.

$$16-44+18\left(-2\right)-8$$

Subtract 44 from 16 to get -28.

$$-28+18\left(-2\right)-8$$

Multiply 18 and -2 to get -36.

$$-28-36-8$$

Subtract 36 from -28 to get -64.

$$-64-8$$

Subtract 8 from -64 to get -72.

$$-72$$
