14 - 16 x 5 - 16 - 14 x 7 = ?

Question

-208
-180
-166
-148

Answer 1

To solve the expression \(14 - 16 \times 5 - 16 - 14 \times 7\), we will follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):

1. Multiply first.

   \[ 16 \times 5 = 80 \] \[ 14 \times 7 = 98 \]

2. Substitute the results back into the expression:

   \[ 14 - 80 - 16 - 98 \]

3. Now, perform the additions and subtractions from left to right:

   \[ 14 - 80 = -66 \] \[ -66 - 16 = -82 \] \[ -82 - 98 = -180 \]

So the final result is \(-180\).

Thus, the answer is \(\boxed{-180}\).
