Solve 30-{6-1*8-3+16:(2-10)}-5

$$30 - \{ 6 - 1 \cdot 8 - 3 + 16 : ( 2 - 10 ) \} - 5$$

Evaluate

$$32$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 1 and 8 to get 8.

$$30-\left(6-8-3+\frac{16}{2-10}\right)-5$$

Subtract 8 from 6 to get -2.

$$30-\left(-2-3+\frac{16}{2-10}\right)-5$$

Subtract 3 from -2 to get -5.

$$30-\left(-5+\frac{16}{2-10}\right)-5$$

Subtract 10 from 2 to get -8.

$$30-\left(-5+\frac{16}{-8}\right)-5$$

Divide 16 by -8 to get -2.

$$30-\left(-5-2\right)-5$$

Subtract 2 from -5 to get -7.

$$30-\left(-7\right)-5$$

The opposite of -7 is 7.

$$30+7-5$$

Add 30 and 7 to get 37.

$$37-5$$

Subtract 5 from 37 to get 32.

$$32$$

Factor

$$2^{5}$$
