Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 8 - 5 \times 83 \), we need to follow the order of operations, which is to do multiplication before addition or subtraction.

First, we perform the multiplication:

\[ 5 \times 83 = 415 \]

Now we can substitute this back into the expression:

\[ 8 - 415 \]

Now, we subtract:

\[ 8 - 415 = -407 \]

So, the simplified result of the expression \( 8 - 5 \times 83 \) is \(-407\).

None of the provided response options seem to match this result.
