You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(5 \cdot \left(-1 - 2\right) - 3 \cdot \left(-1 + 4\right)\)

MathBot Answer:

\[5 \cdot \left(-1 - 2\right) - 3 \cdot \left(-1 + 4\right) = -24\]


\[\begin{aligned}5 \cdot \left(-1 - 2\right) - 3 \cdot \left(-1 + 4\right)& = 5 \cdot -3 - 3 \cdot \left(-1 + 4\right)\\& = -15 - 3 \cdot \left(-1 + 4\right)\\& = -15 - 3 \cdot 3\\& = -15 - 9\\& = -24\end{aligned}\]
