Solve -50-3{2-[16-2(3-5)]}

$$- 50 - 3 \{ 2 - [ 16 - 2 ( 3 - 5 ) ] \}$$

Evaluate

$$4$$

Solution Steps

Subtract 5 from 3 to get -2.

$$-50-3\left(2-\left(16-2\left(-2\right)\right)\right)$$

Multiply 2 and -2 to get -4.

$$-50-3\left(2-\left(16-\left(-4\right)\right)\right)$$

The opposite of -4 is 4.

$$-50-3\left(2-\left(16+4\right)\right)$$

Add 16 and 4 to get 20.

$$-50-3\left(2-20\right)$$

Subtract 20 from 2 to get -18.

$$-50-3\left(-18\right)$$

Multiply 3 and -18 to get -54.

$$-50-\left(-54\right)$$

The opposite of -54 is 54.

$$-50+54$$

Add -50 and 54 to get 4.

$$4$$

Factor

$$2^{2}$$
