You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(5 \cdot \left(-\left( 2 \cdot 20 \right) - 4\right)\)

MathBot Answer:

\[5 \cdot \left(-\left( 2 \cdot 20 \right) - 4\right) = -220\]


\[\begin{aligned}5 \cdot \left(-\left( 2 \cdot 20 \right) - 4\right)& = 5 \cdot \left(- 2 \cdot 20 - 4\right)\\& = 5 \cdot \left(- 40 - 4\right)\\& = 5 \cdot \left(-40 - 4\right)\\& = 5 \cdot -44\\& = -220\end{aligned}\]
