110 - 137 + 4 * -5 ^ 2 cubed

1 answer

To solve this expression, we need to follow the order of operations, which is parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division (from left to right), and addition and subtraction (from left to right).

Let's break down the expression step by step:

1. First, we have -5^2, which means we square -5: (-5)^2 = 25.
2. Next, we have 25 cubed, which means we multiply 25 by itself three times: 25^3 = 25 * 25 * 25 = 15625.
3. Now, let's substitute the value of 15625 back into the expression: 110 - 137 + 4 * 15625.

4. Multiply 4 by 15625: 4 * 15625 = 62500.

5. Finally, substitute the result back into the expression: 110 - 137 + 62500.

6. Subtract 137 from 110: 110 - 137 = -27.

7. Add -27 to 62500: -27 + 62500 = 62473.

Therefore, 110 - 137 + 4 * -5 ^ 2 cubed equals 62473.
