Solve -8+5*(-3)+8:-3+(4+3)

$$- 8 + 5 \cdot ( - 3 ) + 8 : - 3 + ( 4 + 3 )$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{56}{3}\approx -18.666666667$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 5 and -3 to get -15.

$$-8-15+\frac{8}{-3}+4+3$$

Subtract 15 from -8 to get -23.

$$-23+\frac{8}{-3}+4+3$$

Fraction \frac{8}{-3} can be rewritten as -\frac{8}{3} by extracting the negative sign.

$$-23-\frac{8}{3}+4+3$$

Convert -23 to fraction -\frac{69}{3}.

$$-\frac{69}{3}-\frac{8}{3}+4+3$$

Since -\frac{69}{3} and \frac{8}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-69-8}{3}+4+3$$

Subtract 8 from -69 to get -77.

$$-\frac{77}{3}+4+3$$

Convert 4 to fraction \frac{12}{3}.

$$-\frac{77}{3}+\frac{12}{3}+3$$

Since -\frac{77}{3} and \frac{12}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-77+12}{3}+3$$

Add -77 and 12 to get -65.

$$-\frac{65}{3}+3$$

Convert 3 to fraction \frac{9}{3}.

$$-\frac{65}{3}+\frac{9}{3}$$

Since -\frac{65}{3} and \frac{9}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-65+9}{3}$$

Add -65 and 9 to get -56.

$$-\frac{56}{3}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{56}{3} = -18\frac{2}{3} = -18.666666666666668$$
