Understand the problem

70−(32−(−4))= 70-(32-(-4))=

2

Step-by-step solution

According to the order of operations, we first address the innermost parentheses.

Remember that the product of a negative and a negative results is positive:

−(−4)=+4 -(-4)=+4

Therefore, the exercise we get is:

70−(32+4)= 70-(32+4)=

Now, we solve the exercise within the parentheses:

32+4=36 32+4=36

We obtain:

70−36=34 70-36=34
