Question

Start with the integer 3 and subtract 10. From the answer,subtract 1. Then multiply the answer by -3. Now subtract 20 from the answer. What do you get?

Answer 1

ill be going in an order rather writing the whole thing at once......

3 - 10  = (-7)
-7 - 1 = (-8)
-8*-3  = 24
24-20   = 4

i get 4

Answer 2

Concept

We will follow the instruction given in the question which is as follows. Subtract 10 from 3 then subtract 1 and after that multiplying the obtained answer by -3 and then finally subtracting 20 from the final answer.

Given

The initial integer is 3 and then 10, 1 -3 and 20.

Find

We are asked to calculate the value of the final step answer.

Solution

Since the initial integer is 3, therefore subtracting 10 from 3 we get,

3-10 = -7

And subtracting 1

-7-1 = -8

Now multiplying by -3

(-8)*(-3) = 24

Finally subtracting it by 20 we get,

24-20 = 4

Hence the final value is 4.
