Math Problem Statement

-3-(-2)(5)-(-4)³

Solution

Let's break down the expression step by step:

3(2)(5)(4)3-3 - (-2)(5) - (-4)^3

  1. First, handle the multiplication: (2)(5)=10(-2)(5) = -10 Now the expression becomes: 3(10)(4)3-3 - (-10) - (-4)^3

  2. Next, handle the exponentiation: (4)3=(4)×(4)×(4)=64(-4)^3 = (-4) \times (-4) \times (-4) = -64 Now the expression becomes: 3(10)(64)-3 - (-10) - (-64)

  3. Next, simplify the signs: 3+10+64-3 + 10 + 64

  4. Finally, do the addition: 3+10=7-3 + 10 = 7 7+64=717 + 64 = 71

So, the result is:

71\boxed{71}
