To find the value of the given expression, follow the order of operations, which is often remembered using the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division from left to right, and Addition and Subtraction from left to right).
In the given expression: -2(3 + (-4) + (-8) + 7)
1. Simplify the expressions within the parentheses first.
Since negative signs before a number can be thought of as subtraction, we rewrite the expression as:
-2(3 - 4 - 8 + 7).
2. Perform the operations inside the parentheses:
3 - 4 - 8 + 7 = -2.
Now, the expression becomes: -2(-2).
3. Multiply the values outside and inside the parentheses:
-2 * (-2) = 4.
So, the value of the given expression is 4.
