To solve the expression \(2 \times 2 - (3 \times 5) - 3\), we can follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):
-
Calculate the multiplication:
- \(2 \times 2 = 4\)
- \(3 \times 5 = 15\)
-
Substitute these values into the expression: \[ 4 - 15 - 3 \]
-
Now perform the subtraction from left to right:
- \(4 - 15 = -11\)
- \(-11 - 3 = -14\)
Thus, the final result is \(-14\).
