Solve 5-(-4+(-8-(-2-9)+(-8+3))+2)

$$5-(-4+(-8-(-2-9)+(-8+3))+2)$$

Evaluate

$$9$$

Solution Steps

Subtract 9 from -2 to get -11.

$$5-\left(-4+-8-\left(-11\right)-8+3+2\right)$$

The opposite of -11 is 11.

$$5-\left(-4-8+11-8+3+2\right)$$

Add -8 and 11 to get 3.

$$5-\left(-4+3-8+3+2\right)$$

Add -4 and 3 to get -1.

$$5-\left(-1-8+3+2\right)$$

Subtract 8 from -1 to get -9.

$$5-\left(-9+3+2\right)$$

Add -9 and 3 to get -6.

$$5-\left(-6+2\right)$$

Add -6 and 2 to get -4.

$$5-\left(-4\right)$$

The opposite of -4 is 4.

$$5+4$$

Add 5 and 4 to get 9.

$$9$$

Factor

$$3^{2}$$
