The first step to solving this is to eliminate the opposites.
-5 × (-5) - ((3 - 4) × 2)
Calculate the difference from the expression in the parenthesis.
-5 × (-5) - (-1 × 2)
Multiply the numbers on the left side of the expression
25 - (-1 × 2)
Any expression multiplied by -1 equals the opposite,, which will change the expression to the following:
25 - (-2)
When there is a "-" sign in front of the parenthesis,, you must change the sign of each term in the parenthesis. This rule will make the expression look like the following:
25 + 2
Finally,, add the numbers together to get your final answer.
27
This means that the correct answer to your expression is 27.
