What is 2x2-(3x5)-3

Answer 1

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 \(-14\).
