Solve -5+2/3+4(-2)=

$$-5+ \frac{ 2 }{ 3 } +4(-2)=$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{37}{3}\approx -12.333333333$$

Solution Steps

Convert -5 to fraction -\frac{15}{3}.

$$-\frac{15}{3}+\frac{2}{3}+4\left(-2\right)$$

Since -\frac{15}{3} and \frac{2}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-15+2}{3}+4\left(-2\right)$$

Add -15 and 2 to get -13.

$$-\frac{13}{3}+4\left(-2\right)$$

Multiply 4 and -2 to get -8.

$$-\frac{13}{3}-8$$

Convert 8 to fraction \frac{24}{3}.

$$-\frac{13}{3}-\frac{24}{3}$$

Since -\frac{13}{3} and \frac{24}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-13-24}{3}$$

Subtract 24 from -13 to get -37.

$$-\frac{37}{3}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{37}{3} = -12\frac{1}{3} = -12.333333333333334$$
