Solve 2+(-5+8)(-12+6)-[3-(4-9)(2)](5)

$$2 + ( - 5 + 8 ) ( - 12 + 6 ) - [ 3 - ( 4 - 9 ) ( 2 ) ] ( 5 )$$

Evaluate

$$-81$$

Solution Steps

Add -5 and 8 to get 3.

$$2+3\left(-12+6\right)-\left(3-\left(4-9\right)\times 2\right)\times 5$$

Add -12 and 6 to get -6.

$$2+3\left(-6\right)-\left(3-\left(4-9\right)\times 2\right)\times 5$$

Multiply 3 and -6 to get -18.

$$2-18-\left(3-\left(4-9\right)\times 2\right)\times 5$$

Subtract 18 from 2 to get -16.

$$-16-\left(3-\left(4-9\right)\times 2\right)\times 5$$

Subtract 9 from 4 to get -5.

$$-16-\left(3-\left(-5\times 2\right)\right)\times 5$$

Multiply -5 and 2 to get -10.

$$-16-\left(3-\left(-10\right)\right)\times 5$$

The opposite of -10 is 10.

$$-16-\left(3+10\right)\times 5$$

Add 3 and 10 to get 13.

$$-16-13\times 5$$

Multiply 13 and 5 to get 65.

$$-16-65$$

Subtract 65 from -16 to get -81.

$$-81$$

Factor
