Solve 2*(-8-4)+3^2=-5*(2^3)-7

$$2 \times ( - 8 - 4 ) + 3 ^ { 2 } = - 5 \times ( 2 ^ { 3 } ) - 7$$

Verify

Solution Steps

Subtract 4 from -8 to get -12.

$$2\left(-12\right)+3^{2}=-5\times 2^{3}-7$$

Multiply 2 and -12 to get -24.

$$-24+3^{2}=-5\times 2^{3}-7$$

Calculate 3 to the power of 2 and get 9.

$$-24+9=-5\times 2^{3}-7$$

Add -24 and 9 to get -15.

$$-15=-5\times 2^{3}-7$$

Calculate 2 to the power of 3 and get 8.

$$-15=-5\times 8-7$$

Multiply -5 and 8 to get -40.

$$-15=-40-7$$

Subtract 7 from -40 to get -47.

$$-15=-47$$

Compare -15 and -47.

$$\text{false}$$
