Example 1: Mixed Algebra Review

Step-by-step worked example for this lesson track.

Problem

Evaluate −3+−5⋅3−6\text{Evaluate }-3+-5\cdot3-6

1. Recognize Pattern

a+b⋅d−c⇒a+(bd)−ca+b\cdot d-c\Rightarrow a+(bd)-c

2. Apply Method

6+−1⋅4−10=−86+-1\cdot4-10=-8

3. Conclude

−3+(−5⋅3)−6=−24-3+(-5\cdot3)-6=-24

Final answer

−3+(−5⋅3)−6=−24-3+(-5\cdot3)-6=-24
