Solve 14(2-3)(-6)2^-3

$$14 ( 2 - 3 ) ( - 6 ) 2 ^ { - 3 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{21}{2}=10.5$$

Solution Steps

Subtract 3 from 2 to get -1.

$$14\left(-1\right)\left(-6\right)\times 2^{-3}$$

Multiply 14 and -1 to get -14.

$$-14\left(-6\right)\times 2^{-3}$$

Multiply -14 and -6 to get 84.

$$84\times 2^{-3}$$

Calculate 2 to the power of -3 and get \frac{1}{8}.

$$84\times \frac{1}{8}$$

Multiply 84 and \frac{1}{8} to get \frac{21}{2}.

$$\frac{21}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3 \cdot 7}{2} = 10\frac{1}{2} = 10.5$$
