Solve 6+2^2*(-1/5)

$$6 + 2 ^ { 2 } \times ( - \frac { 1 } { 5 } )$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{26}{5}=5.2$$

Solution Steps

Calculate 2 to the power of 2 and get 4.

$$6+4\left(-\frac{1}{5}\right)$$

Express 4\left(-\frac{1}{5}\right) as a single fraction.

$$6+\frac{4\left(-1\right)}{5}$$

Multiply 4 and -1 to get -4.

$$6+\frac{-4}{5}$$

Fraction \frac{-4}{5} can be rewritten as -\frac{4}{5} by extracting the negative sign.

$$6-\frac{4}{5}$$

Convert 6 to fraction \frac{30}{5}.

$$\frac{30}{5}-\frac{4}{5}$$

Since \frac{30}{5} and \frac{4}{5} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{30-4}{5}$$

Subtract 4 from 30 to get 26.

$$\frac{26}{5}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 \cdot 13}{5} = 5\frac{1}{5} = 5.2$$
