$$56 = \frac { - 1 \cdot ( - 2 ) ^ { 6 } - 1 } { ( - 2 ) - 1 }$$

Verify

Solution Steps

Calculate -2 to the power of 6 and get 64.

$$56=\frac{-64-1}{-2-1}$$

Subtract 1 from -64 to get -65.

$$56=\frac{-65}{-2-1}$$

Subtract 1 from -2 to get -3.

$$56=\frac{-65}{-3}$$

Fraction \frac{-65}{-3} can be simplified to \frac{65}{3} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$56=\frac{65}{3}$$

Convert 56 to fraction \frac{168}{3}.

$$\frac{168}{3}=\frac{65}{3}$$

Compare \frac{168}{3} and \frac{65}{3}.

$$\text{false}$$
