You asked:

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

MathBot Answer:

\[5 - 4 \cdot \left(-3 - 2 \cdot -4\right) + 3 \cdot -2 = -21\]

\[\begin{aligned}5 - 4 \cdot \left(-3 - 2 \cdot -4\right) + 3 \cdot -2& = 5 - 4 \cdot \left(-3 - -8\right) + 3 \cdot -2\\& = 5 - 4 \cdot \left(-3 + 8\right) + 3 \cdot -2\\& = 5 - 4 \cdot 5 + 3 \cdot -2\\& = 5 - 20 + 3 \cdot -2\\& = 5 - 20 - 6\\& = -15 - 6\\& = -21\end{aligned}\]
