Question

Simplify 6 - (-2) - 3(-5)

Answer 1

So the first thing we need to do is multiply 3*-5, since order of operations dictates it (PEMDAS)

$6-(-2)-(-15)$

Now, whenever we see a minus negative number, we can think of it as adding a positive number

$6+(+2)+(+15)$

Now we just add them together

$6+2+15 = 23$

23 is the answer

Answer 2

Explanation: This question's it's about the order of operations. It stands for p-parenthesis, e-exponents, m-multiply, d-divide, a-add, and s-subtract. It can also go left too right.

First, multiply from left too right.

$3(-5)=-15$

Then, rewrite the problem down.

$6-(-2)-(-15)$

Next, add/subtract from left too right.

$6-(-2)-3(-5)$

$6+2-(-15)$

$6+2=8$

$8-(-15)$

$8+15$

$\boxed{=23}$

Hope this helps!

Thank you!

Have a great day!
