Understand the problem

4((14)+(23))= -4-((-14)+(-23))=

2

Step-by-step solution

According to the order of operations, first we solve the exercise within parentheses:

Remember that the product of a positive and a negative results in a negative, therefore:

+(23)=23 +(-23)=-23

Now we obtain:

4(1423)= -4-(-14-23)=

We solve the exercise within parentheses:

4(37)= -4-(-37)=

Remember that the product of a negative and a negative results in a positive, therefore:

(37)=+37 -(-37)=+37

Now we obtain the exercise:

4+37=33 -4+37=33
