2-(3+4). Is it -14 or -5?

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 17-04-07] [Hit: ]
As it is the -(3+4) is subtracted from the 2 not multiplied by the 2.D.W.lola say: -5 because of order of operations (PEMDAS). First, you solve whats in the parenthesis: 2-(7).......

answers:
Teresa say: 2-(3+4)
=2-3-4
=2-7
=-5
-
Jim Moor say: 2-(3+4)
Per PEMDAS, do the addition inside of Parens first.

2 - 7 = -5
-
MICHAEL K say: - 5.
-
Krishnamurthy say: 2 - (3 + 4)
= 2 - 7
= -5
-
Paul say: 2-(3+4) = 2-7 = -5

To be 2(-7) you would have to have the negative inside brackets.

=2(-(3+4))
=2(-3 -4)
=2(-7)
=-14

As it is the -(3+4) is subtracted from the 2 not multiplied by the 2.

Como say: 2 - 7 = - 5
-
D.W. say: 2-(3+4) = 2-7 = -5
-2(3+4) = -2(7) = -14
-
lenpol7 say: Multiply the minus (-) to each term inside the brackets
Hence
2 -3 - 4 =>
2 - 7 =>
-5
-
lola say: -5 because of order of operations (PEMDAS). First, you solve what's in the parenthesis: 2-(7). Then, you can subtract: 2-7=-5
-
Nooria say: It is -5.
2-(3+4)
add the numbers on the inside of the ( )
2 - 7
solve
-5
-
say: -5
-
Davy say: -5
-
Durlava say: At last...

Therefore, answer is -5.
-
Rain say: 2 - (3 + 4) = -5
-
Deepak Suwalka say: It’s a simple problem simplify it using order of operation, i.e., PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)

First, simplify parenthesis

2 - (3 + 4)

= 2 - 7

= -5
-
Martial say: sure its -5.
we always solve the first bracket first.the first bracket is ().you have to solve it first.
3+4=7
now you subtract 2 from 7,2-7=-5
Answer=-5
-
Natasha say: -5
-
ProfRay say: 2 - 7 = -5
-
Ali Al-Obaidi say: Remember BODMAS it's -14
-
say: 2-(3+4)
2-(7)
-5
-
Denver say: PEMDAS - Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.
Per PEMDAS. Solve first for the whats inside the Parenthesis.
(3+7) = 7
2-7 = -5
