Question

How do I solve (2-3*2-3)-4

Answer 1

Do 2-3 times 2-3 then -4

Answer 2

According to PEMDAS, parenthesis goes first. Before addition, multiplication is represented in the M of PEMDAS. So you multiply 3 and 2 inside of the parenthesis. That equals to 6. (2-6-3)-4 is what is left. Then, we still have subtraction to be done in the parenthesis. 2 minus 6 is -4, minus 3 is -7. You’re left with -7-4. This equals to -11. Your answer is -11.
