Solve 18-(-5-2-3)+20-(-6+8)-(-1-8+3)=

$$18 - ( - 5 - 2 - 3 ) + 20 - ( - 6 + 8 ) - ( - 1 - 8 + 3 ) =$$

Evaluate

$$52$$

Solution Steps

Subtract 2 from -5 to get -7.

$$18-\left(-7-3\right)+20-\left(-6+8\right)-\left(-1-8+3\right)$$

Subtract 3 from -7 to get -10.

$$18-\left(-10\right)+20-\left(-6+8\right)-\left(-1-8+3\right)$$

The opposite of -10 is 10.

$$18+10+20-\left(-6+8\right)-\left(-1-8+3\right)$$

Add 18 and 10 to get 28.

$$28+20-\left(-6+8\right)-\left(-1-8+3\right)$$

Add 28 and 20 to get 48.

$$48-\left(-6+8\right)-\left(-1-8+3\right)$$

Add -6 and 8 to get 2.

$$48-2-\left(-1-8+3\right)$$

Subtract 2 from 48 to get 46.

$$46-\left(-1-8+3\right)$$

Subtract 8 from -1 to get -9.

$$46-\left(-9+3\right)$$

Add -9 and 3 to get -6.

$$46-\left(-6\right)$$

The opposite of -6 is 6.

$$46+6$$

Add 46 and 6 to get 52.

$$52$$

Factor

$$2^{2}\times 13$$
