You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(-\left( 2 \left(6 \cdot 7 - 5\right) \right) - 7 \cdot 4\)

MathBot Answer:

\[-\left( 2 \left(6 \cdot 7 - 5\right) \right) - 7 \cdot 4 = -102\]


\[\begin{aligned}-\left( 2 \left(6 \cdot 7 - 5\right) \right) - 7 \cdot 4& = - 2 \cdot \left(6 \cdot 7 - 5\right) - 7 \cdot 4\\& = - 2 \cdot \left(42 - 5\right) - 7 \cdot 4\\& = - 2 \cdot 37 - 7 \cdot 4\\& = - 74 - 7 \cdot 4\\& = -74 - 7 \cdot 4\\& = -74 - 28\\& = -102\end{aligned}\]
