Solve (2)-4^2-(8-12div3)*3(2)

$$( 2 ) - 4 ^ { 2 } - ( 8 - 12 \div 3 ) \cdot 3 ( 2 )$$

Evaluate

$$-38$$

Solution Steps

Calculate 4 to the power of 2 and get 16.

$$2-16-\left(8-\frac{12}{3}\right)\times 3\times 2$$

Subtract 16 from 2 to get -14.

$$-14-\left(8-\frac{12}{3}\right)\times 3\times 2$$

Divide 12 by 3 to get 4.

$$-14-\left(8-4\right)\times 3\times 2$$

Subtract 4 from 8 to get 4.

$$-14-4\times 3\times 2$$

Multiply 4 and 3 to get 12.

$$-14-12\times 2$$

Multiply 12 and 2 to get 24.

$$-14-24$$

Subtract 24 from -14 to get -38.

$$-38$$

Factor
