Solve 2*-1^3-3*-1^2-12*-1+13

$$2 \times - { 1 }^{ 3 } -3 \times - { 1 }^{ 2 } -12 \times -1+13$$

Evaluate

$$26$$

Solution Steps

Calculate 1 to the power of 3 and get 1.

$$2\left(-1\right)-3\left(-1^{2}\right)-12\left(-1\right)+13$$

Multiply 2 and -1 to get -2.

$$-2-3\left(-1^{2}\right)-12\left(-1\right)+13$$

Calculate 1 to the power of 2 and get 1.

$$-2-3\left(-1\right)-12\left(-1\right)+13$$

Multiply 3 and -1 to get -3.

$$-2-\left(-3\right)-12\left(-1\right)+13$$

The opposite of -3 is 3.

$$-2+3-12\left(-1\right)+13$$

Add -2 and 3 to get 1.

$$1-12\left(-1\right)+13$$

Multiply 12 and -1 to get -12.

$$1-\left(-12\right)+13$$

The opposite of -12 is 12.

$$1+12+13$$

Add 1 and 12 to get 13.

$$13+13$$

Add 13 and 13 to get 26.

$$26$$

Factor

$$2\times 13$$
