Question

How do you evaluate `(10- ( - 3) ^ { 2} ) \cdot ( - 11) + 4`?

Answer 1

`-7`

Explanation:

There are 2 terms in this expression. Each term must be simplified to a single answer and they can only be added in the last line.

`(10- color(red)((-3)^2)) xx (-11)+4 = (10- color(red)9) xx (-11)+4`

`=(color(blue)(10-1))xx (-11)+4= color(blue)((1)) xx (-11)+4`

`= -11+4`

`=-7`
