$$( - 4 + 3 - 8 ) + ( 11 - 6 - 2 ) - ( - 7 + 23 - 14 ) + ( - 2 ) - ( - 5 )$$

Evaluate

$$-5$$

Solution Steps

Add -4 and 3 to get -1.

$$-1-8+11-6-2-\left(-7+23-14\right)-2-\left(-5\right)$$

Subtract 8 from -1 to get -9.

$$-9+11-6-2-\left(-7+23-14\right)-2-\left(-5\right)$$

Add -9 and 11 to get 2.

$$2-6-2-\left(-7+23-14\right)-2-\left(-5\right)$$

Subtract 6 from 2 to get -4.

$$-4-2-\left(-7+23-14\right)-2-\left(-5\right)$$

Subtract 2 from -4 to get -6.

$$-6-\left(-7+23-14\right)-2-\left(-5\right)$$

Add -7 and 23 to get 16.

$$-6-\left(16-14\right)-2-\left(-5\right)$$

Subtract 14 from 16 to get 2.

$$-6-2-2-\left(-5\right)$$

Subtract 2 from -6 to get -8.

$$-8-2-\left(-5\right)$$

Subtract 2 from -8 to get -10.

$$-10-\left(-5\right)$$

The opposite of -5 is 5.

$$-10+5$$

Add -10 and 5 to get -5.

$$-5$$

Factor
