16
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem requires PEMDAS
Parentheses ( )
Exponents ^
Multiplication
Division
Add
Subtract
Start by solving anything in parentheses. There's an exponent within the parentheses, so we change that 2^2 into 4 and also make sure to multiply 5 x 2 before subtracting.
-4 - (2 + -24 - 4 - (4-10))
-4 - (2 + -24 - 4 - (-6))
Again, solve parentheses first.
-4 - (-22 - 4 - (-6))
-4 - (-26 + 6)
-4 - (-20)
-4 + 20
Answer is 16
X1 = 12
X2 = 4
I took the test and can promise you this is correct!!
