Solve 23-3(-5+3-8)-7(-2)

$$23 - 3 ( - 5 + 3 - 8 ) - 7 ( - 2 )$$

Evaluate

$$67$$

Solution Steps

Add -5 and 3 to get -2.

$$23-3\left(-2-8\right)-7\left(-2\right)$$

Subtract 8 from -2 to get -10.

$$23-3\left(-10\right)-7\left(-2\right)$$

Multiply 3 and -10 to get -30.

$$23-\left(-30\right)-7\left(-2\right)$$

The opposite of -30 is 30.

$$23+30-7\left(-2\right)$$

Add 23 and 30 to get 53.

$$53-7\left(-2\right)$$

Multiply 7 and -2 to get -14.

$$53-\left(-14\right)$$

The opposite of -14 is 14.

$$53+14$$

Add 53 and 14 to get 67.

$$67$$

Factor

$$67$$
