What is 2x2-(3x5)-3

1 answer

To solve the expression \(2 \times 2 - (3 \times 5) - 3\), we can follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):

  1. Calculate the multiplication:

    • \(2 \times 2 = 4\)
    • \(3 \times 5 = 15\)
  2. Substitute these values into the expression: \[ 4 - 15 - 3 \]

  3. Now perform the subtraction from left to right:

    • \(4 - 15 = -11\)
    • \(-11 - 3 = -14\)

Thus, the final result is \(-14\).
