Solve (-2)-(-3)^2-(-3)^2-(-2)^5

$$( - 2 ) - ( - 3 ) ^ { 2 } - ( - 3 ) ^ { 2 } - ( - 2 ) ^ { 5 }$$

Evaluate

$$12$$

Solution Steps

Calculate -3 to the power of 2 and get 9.

$$-2-9-\left(-3\right)^{2}-\left(-2\right)^{5}$$

Subtract 9 from -2 to get -11.

$$-11-\left(-3\right)^{2}-\left(-2\right)^{5}$$

Calculate -3 to the power of 2 and get 9.

$$-11-9-\left(-2\right)^{5}$$

Subtract 9 from -11 to get -20.

$$-20-\left(-2\right)^{5}$$

Calculate -2 to the power of 5 and get -32.

$$-20-\left(-32\right)$$

The opposite of -32 is 32.

$$-20+32$$

Add -20 and 32 to get 12.

$$12$$

Factor

$$2^{2}\times 3$$
