You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(-2 + -3 - \left(7 + 4 \left(-2 + 5\right)\right) - 4\)

MathBot Answer:

\[-2 + -3 - \left(7 + 4 \left(-2 + 5\right)\right) - 4 = -28\]


\[\begin{aligned}-2 + -3 - \left(7 + 4 \left(-2 + 5\right)\right) - 4& = -2 - 3 - \left(7 + 4 \cdot \left(-2 + 5\right)\right) - 4\\& = -2 - 3 - \left(7 + 4 \cdot 3\right) - 4\\& = -2 - 3 - \left(7 + 12\right) - 4\\& = -2 - 3 - 19 - 4\\& = -5 - 19 - 4\\& = -24 - 4\\& = -28\end{aligned}\]
