Simplify -2[-2-3(-2-2)][-2(-4)-3].
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Hi, there--
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "You will need to use order of operations to simplify this expression. Let's begin simplifying inside the parentheses.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "-2[-2-3(-2-2)][-2(-4)-3]=
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(-2-2)=-4, so our expression becomes
\n" ); document.write( "-2[-2-3(-4)][-2(-4)-3]=
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Now we can clear the parentheses. Remember the -3(-4) is a multiplication, -3(-4)=12. Likewise, -2(-4)=8. Are expression has been simplified to,
\n" ); document.write( "-2[-2+12][8-3]=
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Now we simplify the expressions inside the brackets.
\n" ); document.write( "-2[10][5]=
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Finally, we multiply the remaining three numbers together.
\n" ); document.write( "-2[50]=
\n" ); document.write( "-100
