Solve (-2)=(-2)^3-(3-(-2)^3+2(-2)+12)

$$( - 2 ) = ( - 2 ) ^ { 3 } - ( 3 - ( - 2 ) ^ { 3 } + 2 ( - 2 ) + 12 )$$

Solution Steps

Calculate -2 to the power of 3 and get -8.

$$-2=-8-\left(3-\left(-2\right)^{3}+2\left(-2\right)+12\right)$$

Calculate -2 to the power of 3 and get -8.

$$-2=-8-\left(3-\left(-8\right)+2\left(-2\right)+12\right)$$

The opposite of -8 is 8.

$$-2=-8-\left(3+8+2\left(-2\right)+12\right)$$

Add 3 and 8 to get 11.

$$-2=-8-\left(11+2\left(-2\right)+12\right)$$

Multiply 2 and -2 to get -4.

$$-2=-8-\left(11-4+12\right)$$

Subtract 4 from 11 to get 7.

$$-2=-8-\left(7+12\right)$$

Add 7 and 12 to get 19.

$$-2=-8-19$$

Subtract 19 from -8 to get -27.

$$-2=-27$$

Compare -2 and -27.

$$\text{false}$$
