Solve -4^3-(-4^2)+2(-4)-3

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

Evaluate

$$-59$$

Solution Steps

Calculate 4 to the power of 3 and get 64.

$$-64-\left(-4^{2}\right)+2\left(-4\right)-3$$

Calculate 4 to the power of 2 and get 16.

$$-64-\left(-16\right)+2\left(-4\right)-3$$

The opposite of -16 is 16.

$$-64+16+2\left(-4\right)-3$$

Add -64 and 16 to get -48.

$$-48+2\left(-4\right)-3$$

Multiply 2 and -4 to get -8.

$$-48-8-3$$

Subtract 8 from -48 to get -56.

$$-56-3$$

Subtract 3 from -56 to get -59.

$$-59$$
