Question

Simplify the expression
[1.5(-6)]+[-4-(-4×1.5)]

Answer 1

Let's simplify the expression step by step. The given expression is

\[
1.5(-6) + [-4 - (-4 \times 1.5)].
\]

1. **Calculate \(1.5(-6)\)**:
\[
1.5 \times (-6) = -9.
\]

2. **Now, calculate the second part \([-4 - (-4 \times 1.5)]\)**:
- First, we need to calculate \(-4 \times 1.5\):
\[
-4 \times 1.5 = -6.
\]
- Thus, the expression becomes:
\[
-4 - (-6) = -4 + 6 = 2.
\]

3. **Combine the results**:
Now we have:
\[
-9 + 2 = -7.
\]

Thus, the simplified expression is:

\[
\boxed{-7}.
