Question

Evaluate –32 + (2 – 6)(10).

Answer 1

First rule in solving equations is that parenthesis has the highest priority, which means they should be calculated and eliminated in first place.
-32+(2-6)(10)
S, we should multiply (2-6) with 10.
-32+2*10-6*10=-32+20-60
Now we can solve operation by operation:
-12-60=-72

Answer 2

I'm gonna do it step by step:  
parenthesis first, 2-6 is -4 and we can keep the 10 there.
It now looks like this -32+ (-4)(10)
lets multiply -4 and 10 next, the answer is -40.
It now looks like this -32+-40

Simply add, -32 plus -40 is -72.

-72 should be the correct answer, if I'm doing it right
