Question

$$17- \{ 5-3+[8-(-1-3)+5] \}$$

Evaluate

$-2$

Solution Steps

Subtract $3$ from $5$ to get $2$.

$$17-\left(2+8-\left(-1-3\right)+5\right)$$

Subtract $3$ from $-1$ to get $-4$.

$$17-\left(2+8-\left(-4\right)+5\right)$$

The opposite of $-4$ is $4$.

$$17-\left(2+8+4+5\right)$$

Add $8$ and $4$ to get $12$.

$$17-\left(2+12+5\right)$$

Add $2$ and $12$ to get $14$.

$$17-\left(14+5\right)$$

Add $14$ and $5$ to get $19$.

$$17-19$$

Subtract $19$ from $17$ to get $-2$.

$$-2$$

Factor

$-2$
