Let’s evaluate the expression step-by-step:
1. Start with the expression:
(-4 – (-8 cdot 2) + 6)
2. Calculate the multiplication first:
(-8 cdot 2 = -16)
3. Replace in the expression:
(-4 – (-16) + 6)
4. When subtracting a negative, it becomes addition:
(-4 + 16 + 6)
5. Now, perform the addition:
(-4 + 16 = 12)
(12 + 6 = 18)
However, it looks like I made an arithmetic mistake at the last step. Let’s recalculate it clearly:
– Starting from ( -4 + 16 + 6 ):
– (-4 + 16 = 12)
– (12 + 6 = 18)
Since this does not match any of the answers provided (10, 2, -6, 0), double-checking reveals that I must have miscalculated.
Let’s re-evaluate:
Final steps should yield ( -4 + 16 = 12 ) then adding ( 6 ) gives ( 18), which is indeed an awkward result since none of the options provided (A, B, C, D) fits.
Checking back, upon correcting – ( -4 + 16 =
