Solve -(2-3)-{-4*3-[-48:8-72:(-8)]}

$$- ( 2 - 3 ) - \{ - 4 \cdot 3 - [ - 48 : 8 - 72 : ( - 8 ) ] \}$$

Evaluate

$$16$$

Solution Steps

Subtract 3 from 2 to get -1.

$$-\left(-1\right)-\left(-4\times 3-\left(\frac{-48}{8}-\frac{72}{-8}\right)\right)$$

The opposite of -1 is 1.

$$1-\left(-4\times 3-\left(\frac{-48}{8}-\frac{72}{-8}\right)\right)$$

Multiply -4 and 3 to get -12.

$$1-\left(-12-\left(\frac{-48}{8}-\frac{72}{-8}\right)\right)$$

Divide -48 by 8 to get -6.

$$1-\left(-12-\left(-6-\frac{72}{-8}\right)\right)$$

Divide 72 by -8 to get -9.

$$1-\left(-12-\left(-6-\left(-9\right)\right)\right)$$

The opposite of -9 is 9.

$$1-\left(-12-\left(-6+9\right)\right)$$

Add -6 and 9 to get 3.

$$1-\left(-12-3\right)$$

Subtract 3 from -12 to get -15.

$$1-\left(-15\right)$$

The opposite of -15 is 15.

$$1+15$$

Add 1 and 15 to get 16.

$$16$$

Factor

$$2^{4}$$
