Solve --2^34+(-2)4-(-2)-29

$$- { -2 }^{ 3 } 4+(-2)4-(-2)-29$$

Evaluate

$$-3$$

Solution Steps

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

$$\left(-\left(-8\right)\right)\times 4-2\times 4-\left(-2\right)-29$$

The opposite of -8 is 8.

$$8\times 4-2\times 4-\left(-2\right)-29$$

Multiply 8 and 4 to get 32.

$$32-2\times 4-\left(-2\right)-29$$

Multiply -2 and 4 to get -8.

$$32-8-\left(-2\right)-29$$

Subtract 8 from 32 to get 24.

$$24-\left(-2\right)-29$$

The opposite of -2 is 2.

$$24+2-29$$

Add 24 and 2 to get 26.

$$26-29$$

Subtract 29 from 26 to get -3.

$$-3$$
