Solve 3-2^3-4-2^2+4left(-2right)-2

$$3 { -2 }^{ 3 } -4 { -2 }^{ 2 } +4 \left( -2 \right) -2$$

Evaluate

$$-50$$

Solution Steps

Calculate -2 to the power of 3 and get -8.

$$3\left(-8\right)-4\left(-2\right)^{2}+4\left(-2\right)-2$$

Multiply 3 and -8 to get -24.

$$-24-4\left(-2\right)^{2}+4\left(-2\right)-2$$

Calculate -2 to the power of 2 and get 4.

$$-24-4\times 4+4\left(-2\right)-2$$

Multiply 4 and 4 to get 16.

$$-24-16+4\left(-2\right)-2$$

Subtract 16 from -24 to get -40.

$$-40+4\left(-2\right)-2$$

Multiply 4 and -2 to get -8.

$$-40-8-2$$

Subtract 8 from -40 to get -48.

$$-48-2$$

Subtract 2 from -48 to get -50.

$$-50$$
