Math Problem Statement

5 × (-6) + (-2)

Solution

The expression in the image is:

5×(6)+(2)5 \times (-6) + (-2)

Let's solve this step by step.

  1. First, multiply 55 by 6-6: 5×(6)=305 \times (-6) = -30

  2. Next, add 2-2 to 30-30: 30+(2)=32-30 + (-2) = -32

So, the final result of the expression is:

32\boxed{-32}

  2. What happens if you change the addition of 2-2 to adding 22 instead?
  3. How would you solve a similar expression with fractions instead of integers?
  4. What is the result if you switch the order of operations?
  5. Can you solve this problem using a number line?

Tip: When multiplying and adding negative numbers, remember that multiplying a positive and a negative number results in a negative, and adding two negative numbers results in a larger negative number.
