Solve -(-20)+12-(15*4-19-6+32div8)-17

$$- ( - 20 ) + 12 - ( 15 \times 4 - 19 - 6 + 32 \div 8 ) - 17$$

Evaluate

$$-24$$

Solution Steps

The opposite of -20 is 20.

$$20+12-\left(15\times 4-19-6+\frac{32}{8}\right)-17$$

Add 20 and 12 to get 32.

$$32-\left(15\times 4-19-6+\frac{32}{8}\right)-17$$

Multiply 15 and 4 to get 60.

$$32-\left(60-19-6+\frac{32}{8}\right)-17$$

Subtract 19 from 60 to get 41.

$$32-\left(41-6+\frac{32}{8}\right)-17$$

Subtract 6 from 41 to get 35.

$$32-\left(35+\frac{32}{8}\right)-17$$

Divide 32 by 8 to get 4.

$$32-\left(35+4\right)-17$$

Add 35 and 4 to get 39.

$$32-39-17$$

Subtract 39 from 32 to get -7.

$$-7-17$$

Subtract 17 from -7 to get -24.

$$-24$$

Factor
