Solve 3(-4-2(5)-(2-4-5(5))

$$3 ( - 4 - 2 ( 5 ) - ( 2 - 4 - 5 ( 5 ) )$$

Evaluate

$$39$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 2 and 5 to get 10.

$$3\left(-4-10-\left(2-4-5\times 5\right)\right)$$

Subtract 10 from -4 to get -14.

$$3\left(-14-\left(2-4-5\times 5\right)\right)$$

Subtract 4 from 2 to get -2.

$$3\left(-14-\left(-2-5\times 5\right)\right)$$

Multiply 5 and 5 to get 25.

$$3\left(-14-\left(-2-25\right)\right)$$

Subtract 25 from -2 to get -27.

$$3\left(-14-\left(-27\right)\right)$$

The opposite of -27 is 27.

$$3\left(-14+27\right)$$

Add -14 and 27 to get 13.

$$3\times 13$$

Multiply 3 and 13 to get 39.

$$39$$

Factor

$$3\times 13$$
