Question

Evaluate the following arithmetic expressions:

−4×(−4)
−5×(4)×(2)
−2×(−5)×10
−8×2
A) 48
B) 4
C) -48
D) -4

Answer 1

To evaluate the arithmetic expressions, follow the order of operations (PEMDAS) and perform the operations in the correct order. Therefore, the evaluation of the arithmetic expressions is 44.

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate the given arithmetic expressions, follow the order of operations, which is often abbreviated as PEMDAS.

1. First, evaluate parentheses, if any. In the given expression, there are no parentheses.
2. Next, perform any multiplication or division from left to right. In the given expression, we have:
   -4×(-4) = 16
   -5×4×2 = -40
   -2×(-5)×10 = 100
   -8×2 = -16
3. Finally, perform any addition or subtraction from left to right. In the given expression, we have:
   -4×(-4) -5×4×2 -2×(-5)×10 -8×2 = 16 -40 + 100 -16 = 60 - 16 = 44

Therefore, the evaluation of the arithmetic expressions is 44.
