Verify

Solution Steps

Multiply 4 and -2 to get -8.

$$-8-5\left(-5\right)-8\left(-1\right)=-25$$

Multiply 5 and -5 to get -25.

$$-8-\left(-25\right)-8\left(-1\right)=-25$$

The opposite of -25 is 25.

$$-8+25-8\left(-1\right)=-25$$

Add -8 and 25 to get 17.

$$17-8\left(-1\right)=-25$$

Multiply 8 and -1 to get -8.

$$17-\left(-8\right)=-25$$

The opposite of -8 is 8.

$$17+8=-25$$

Add 17 and 8 to get 25.

$$25=-25$$

Compare 25 and -25.

$$\text{false}$$
