You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(-10 + \frac{-5 \cdot \left(3 + -1\right)}{-2}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[-10 + \frac{-5 \cdot \left(3 + -1\right)}{-2} = -5\]


\[\begin{aligned}-10 + \frac{-5 \cdot \left(3 + -1\right)}{-2}& = -10 - 5 \cdot \left(3 - 1\right) \cdot \frac{1}{-2}\\& = -10 - \frac{10}{-2}\\& = -10 - -5\\& = -10 + 5\\& = -5\end{aligned}\]
