Answer 2

Answer:

The simplfifed form of the given expression is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{-12}{3} \times (-8 + (-4)^2 -6) + 2$

Use PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

First, solve the Parentheses

$-4\times -4=16$

$\dfrac{-12}{3} \times (-8 + (-4)^2 -6) + 2\\=\dfrac{-12}{3} \times (-8 + 16 -6) + 2$

Now, subtract the number.

$-8-6=-14$

$\dfrac{-12}{3} \times (-8 + 16 -6) + 2\\=\dfrac{-12}{3}\times (-14+16)+2$

Now, add the number

$-14+16=2$

$\dfrac{-12}{3}\times (-14+16)+2\\=\dfrac{-12}{3} \times (2) + 2$

$-4 \times (2)+2$

$-8+2=-6$
