Question

How do you simplify 2⋅−13−3⋅−1⋅2?

Answer 1

Answer:-20

Step-by-step explanation:

In PEMDAS, multiplication comes before subtraction, ergo let's rewrite the problem.

(2*-13)-(3*-1*2)

Let's simplify (2*-13) first.

-(2*13)=-26

Now let's simplify (3*-1*2)

-(3*1*2)=-6

Let's put them together.

-26- - 6

If we have 2 minus signs next to each other we can SMASH . them together to make a + sign

So,

-26+6=-20

Ergo the answer is -20.
