Solution Steps

Multiply 5 and -5 to get -25. Multiply 14 and -5 to get -70.

$$-25-4-70-19=18\left(-5\right)+7\left(-5\right)-16+23$$

Subtract 4 from -25 to get -29.

$$-29-70-19=18\left(-5\right)+7\left(-5\right)-16+23$$

Subtract 70 from -29 to get -99.

$$-99-19=18\left(-5\right)+7\left(-5\right)-16+23$$

Subtract 19 from -99 to get -118.

$$-118=18\left(-5\right)+7\left(-5\right)-16+23$$

Multiply 18 and -5 to get -90. Multiply 7 and -5 to get -35.

$$-118=-90-35-16+23$$

Subtract 35 from -90 to get -125.

$$-118=-125-16+23$$

Subtract 16 from -125 to get -141.

$$-118=-141+23$$

Add -141 and 23 to get -118.

$$-118=-118$$

Compare -118 and -118.
