You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(5 - 2 \cdot \left({2}^{2} + 8\right)\)

MathBot Answer:

\[5 - 2 \cdot \left({2}^{2} + 8\right) = -19\]


\[\begin{aligned}5 - 2 \cdot \left({2}^{2} + 8\right)& = 5 - 2 \cdot \left(2^{2} + 8\right)\\& = 5 - 2 \cdot \left(4 + 8\right)\\& = 5 - 2 \cdot 12\\& = 5 - 24\\& = -19\end{aligned}\]
