Solve 4(-17-2)-3(-17-1)=2(-17+6)

$$4 ( - 17 - 2 ) - 3 ( - 17 - 1 ) = 2 ( - 17 + 6 )$$

Verify

Solution Steps

Subtract 2 from -17 to get -19.

$$4\left(-19\right)-3\left(-17-1\right)=2\left(-17+6\right)$$

Multiply 4 and -19 to get -76.

$$-76-3\left(-17-1\right)=2\left(-17+6\right)$$

Subtract 1 from -17 to get -18.

$$-76-3\left(-18\right)=2\left(-17+6\right)$$

Multiply 3 and -18 to get -54.

$$-76-\left(-54\right)=2\left(-17+6\right)$$

The opposite of -54 is 54.

$$-76+54=2\left(-17+6\right)$$

Add -76 and 54 to get -22.

$$-22=2\left(-17+6\right)$$

Add -17 and 6 to get -11.

$$-22=2\left(-11\right)$$

Multiply 2 and -11 to get -22.

$$-22=-22$$

Compare -22 and -22.

$$\text{true}$$
