What is -(-(-8))

I believe it's -8 because of the double negative if you work inside the parentheses first?

Yes, -8

Thank you.

You're welcome.

You're correct! The expression "-(-(-8))" can be simplified by working from the inside out.

Starting from the innermost parenthesis, we have "-8" which equals -8.

Next, we have a negative sign in front of "-8", so we simply change the sign to positive.

Therefore, the final answer is 8.

To verify this, you can also use a simple rule: when you have an even number of negative signs, the result is positive. In this case, we have three negative signs, which is an odd number, so the result is negative. This rule aligns with the result of -8.
