5-3 -[-(-9)]+13
Show steps
To simplify the expression 5-3 -[-(-9)]+13, we'll start by simplifying the innermost parentheses:
-(-9) = 9
Now, we can simplify the expression further:
5 - 3 - 9 + 13
Next, we perform the subtraction and addition operations from left to right:
5 - 3 = 2
2 - 9 = -7
-7 + 13 = 6
Therefore, the simplified expression is 6.
To simplify the expression 5-3 -[-(-9)]+13, we will follow the order of operations, which is parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division (from left to right), and addition and subtraction (from left to right).
Step 1: Simplify the innermost parentheses
First, let's simplify -(-9). The double negative turns into a positive, so -(-9) is equal to 9.
So, we have 5-3 -[9]+13.
Step 2: Simplify the brackets
Next, let's simplify the expression in the brackets [-9]. Since there is no operation inside the brackets, the expression remains the same.
So, we have 5-3 -9+13.
Step 3: Perform the subtraction
Now, let's subtract 3 from 5. 5-3 equals 2.
So, we have 2 -9+13.
Step 4: Perform the addition
Next, let's add -9 to 2. 2 - 9 equals -7.
So, we have -7 + 13.
Step 5: Perform the final addition
Finally, let's add -7 and 13. -7 + 13 equals 6.
Therefore, the final simplified expression is 6.
