Use the order of operations to simplify each expression. $$8-3[-2(5-7)-5(4-2)]$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
-10

Step by step solution

01

Handle operations within the innermost parentheses

First, within the negative brackets, calculate the expressions inside the parentheses for \(-2(5-7)\) and \(-5(4-2)\). The arithmetic gives \(-2(-2)\) and \(-5(2)\) which simplifies to 4 and -10, respectively.
02

Simplify the expression further

Following the order of operations, evaluate the rest of the expressions within the brackets. It changes to \(-3[4-10]\) which simplifies to \(-3(-6)\) resulting in 18.
03

Final operation

Lastly, subtract the resulting number from the number outside the brackets, that is, subtract 18 from 8 which is equal to -10.
