Question

Evaluate:
$(-5)-(-48)÷(-16)+(-2)\times 6$

Answer 1

Evaluate $(-5)-(-48)÷(-16)+(-2)\times 6$

To evaluate an expression, we must first perform division, then mulitplication, then addition, and finally the subtraction according to the DMAS rule.

Thus,

$(-5)-(-48)÷(-16)+(-2)\times 6$

$=(-5)-3+\left(\right(-2)\times 6)$ $\left[\text{Division}\right(-48)÷(-16)=3]$

$=-5-3-12$
$\left[\text{Multiplication}\right(-12)\times 6=-12]$

$=-(5+3+12)$

$=-20$ $[\text{Addition}5+3+12=20]$

$\therefore$ The final answer is $-20.$
