Solve 2-(4-2)^3+sqrt{16}-15div3+(8)(-1)

$$2 - ( 4 - 2 ) ^ { 3 } + \sqrt { 16 } - 15 \div 3 + ( 8 ) ( - 1 )$$

Evaluate

$$-15$$

Solution Steps

Subtract 2 from 4 to get 2.

$$2-2^{3}+\sqrt{16}-\frac{15}{3}+8\left(-1\right)$$

Calculate 2 to the power of 3 and get 8.

$$2-8+\sqrt{16}-\frac{15}{3}+8\left(-1\right)$$

Subtract 8 from 2 to get -6.

$$-6+\sqrt{16}-\frac{15}{3}+8\left(-1\right)$$

Calculate the square root of 16 and get 4.

$$-6+4-\frac{15}{3}+8\left(-1\right)$$

Add -6 and 4 to get -2.

$$-2-\frac{15}{3}+8\left(-1\right)$$

Divide 15 by 3 to get 5.

$$-2-5+8\left(-1\right)$$

Subtract 5 from -2 to get -7.

$$-7+8\left(-1\right)$$

Multiply 8 and -1 to get -8.

$$-7-8$$

Subtract 8 from -7 to get -15.

$$-15$$

Factor

$$-15$$
