You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(-{2}^{2} - 4 \cdot -2 - 6\)

MathBot Answer:

\[-{2}^{2} - 4 \cdot -2 - 6 = -2\]


\[\begin{aligned}-{2}^{2} - 4 \cdot -2 - 6& = - 2^{2} - 4 \cdot -2 - 6\\& = - 4 - 4 \cdot -2 - 6\\& = -4 - 4 \cdot -2 - 6\\& = -4 - -8 - 6\\& = -4 + 8 - 6\\& = 4 - 6\\& = -2\end{aligned}\]
