Solve 4(2)-1/3(-8)

$$4(2)- \frac{ 1 }{ 3 } (-8)$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{32}{3}\approx 10.666666667$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 4 and 2 to get 8.

$$8-\frac{1}{3}\left(-8\right)$$

Multiply \frac{1}{3} and -8 to get \frac{-8}{3}.

$$8-\frac{-8}{3}$$

Fraction \frac{-8}{3} can be rewritten as -\frac{8}{3} by extracting the negative sign.

$$8-\left(-\frac{8}{3}\right)$$

The opposite of -\frac{8}{3} is \frac{8}{3}.

$$8+\frac{8}{3}$$

Convert 8 to fraction \frac{24}{3}.

$$\frac{24}{3}+\frac{8}{3}$$

Since \frac{24}{3} and \frac{8}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{24+8}{3}$$

Add 24 and 8 to get 32.

$$\frac{32}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {5}}{3} = 10\frac{2}{3} = 10.666666666666666$$
