can you please do this

4 + 2[6 - (-5)3] =

[redrockscc]

No problem! We start inside the big parentheses. The first thing we have to do in there is multiply the -5 times 3. That's -15, so we have:

4 + 2[6 - -15]

Inside the brackets, we have 6 - - 15 = 6+15=21. Now we have:

4 + 2[21]

Now multiply, then add:

4 + 42

44

I hope this helps!
