You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(-\left( 6 \cdot {\left( -4 \right)}^{2} \right) - 8 \cdot -4 - 7\)

MathBot Answer:

\[-\left( 6 \cdot {\left( -4 \right)}^{2} \right) - 8 \cdot -4 - 7 = -71\]


\[\begin{aligned}-\left( 6 \cdot {\left( -4 \right)}^{2} \right) - 8 \cdot -4 - 7& = - 6 \cdot \left(-4\right)^{2} - 8 \cdot -4 - 7\\& = - 6 \cdot 16 - 8 \cdot -4 - 7\\& = - 96 - 8 \cdot -4 - 7\\& = -96 - 8 \cdot -4 - 7\\& = -96 - -32 - 7\\& = -96 + 32 - 7\\& = -64 - 7\\& = -71\end{aligned}\]
