negative 1 minus 2 multiplied by negative 4 multiplied by 2

Answer :

We are given the following operation:

[tex]-1-2(-4\times2)[/tex]

To solve this operation we will first solve the product inside the parenthesis. Since the factor has opposite signs the result must be negative. Solving the operations:

[tex]-1-2(-8)[/tex]

Now we solve the produce to the right since the factors have the same sign the result must be positive:

[tex]-1+16[/tex]

Now we solve the final subtraction:

[tex]15[/tex]

Therefore, the result of the operation is 15.
