Solve -{-5+6-7+8[+3-2+4(+3+6-8)]}

$$- \{ - 5 + 6 - 7 + 8 [ + 3 - 2 + 4 ( + 3 + 6 - 8 ) ] \}$$

Evaluate

$$-34$$

Solution Steps

Add -5 and 6 to get 1.

$$-\left(1-7+8\left(3-2+4\left(3+6-8\right)\right)\right)$$

Subtract 7 from 1 to get -6.

$$-\left(-6+8\left(3-2+4\left(3+6-8\right)\right)\right)$$

Subtract 2 from 3 to get 1.

$$-\left(-6+8\left(1+4\left(3+6-8\right)\right)\right)$$

Add 3 and 6 to get 9.

$$-\left(-6+8\left(1+4\left(9-8\right)\right)\right)$$

Subtract 8 from 9 to get 1.

$$-\left(-6+8\left(1+4\times 1\right)\right)$$

Multiply 4 and 1 to get 4.

$$-\left(-6+8\left(1+4\right)\right)$$

Add 1 and 4 to get 5.

$$-\left(-6+8\times 5\right)$$

Multiply 8 and 5 to get 40.

$$-\left(-6+40\right)$$

Add -6 and 40 to get 34.
