Question

Evaluate (–1)8 + (–1)7 + –16 + –14 – (–1)2. A. 5 B. –3 C. –4 D. –23

Answer 1

Answer:

= -43

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluating the expression;

(–1)8 + (–1)7 + –16 + –14 – (–1)2

We can use Bodmas

We remove the brackets first

(–1)8 + (–1)7 + –16 + –14 – (–1)2

We get

-8 + - 7 + -16 + -14 - -2

but; - × + = - and - × - = +

Thus;

-8 - 7 - 16 - 14 + 2

= -8 -7 - 16 - 12

= -43
