Solve -4^2+3(15-11)-2(6+2^3)

$$- 4 ^ { 2 } + 3 ( 15 - 11 ) - 2 ( 6 + 2 ^ { 3 } )$$

Evaluate

$$-32$$

Solution Steps

Calculate 4 to the power of 2 and get 16.

$$-16+3\left(15-11\right)-2\left(6+2^{3}\right)$$

Subtract 11 from 15 to get 4.

$$-16+3\times 4-2\left(6+2^{3}\right)$$

Multiply 3 and 4 to get 12.

$$-16+12-2\left(6+2^{3}\right)$$

Add -16 and 12 to get -4.

$$-4-2\left(6+2^{3}\right)$$

Calculate 2 to the power of 3 and get 8.

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

Add 6 and 8 to get 14.

$$-4-2\times 14$$

Multiply 2 and 14 to get 28.

$$-4-28$$

Subtract 28 from -4 to get -32.

$$-32$$

Factor

$$-32$$
