Your question: simplify 7(2 cubed)*(-(8)squared)*2.
--------------------------------------------------------------
My answer:
7(2^3)[-(8^2)]2----original equation
7(8)[-64]2----simplify in the brackets and parantheses first
(56)(-128)------multiply
-7168 is the answer! (this is the answer if the 8 squared is being multiplied by a negative number)
