You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\left(-26 + \frac{36}{4}\right) \cdot 2 - \frac{174}{-7 + 1}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[\left(-26 + \frac{36}{4}\right) \cdot 2 - \frac{174}{-7 + 1} = -5\]


\[\begin{aligned}\left(-26 + \frac{36}{4}\right) \cdot 2 - \frac{174}{-7 + 1}& = \left(-26 + \frac{36}{4}\right) \cdot 2 - 174 \cdot \frac{1}{-7 + 1}\\& = -17 \cdot 2 - 174 \cdot \frac{1}{-7 + 1}\\& = -34 - 174 \cdot \frac{1}{-7 + 1}\\& = -34 - \frac{174}{-6}\\& = -34 - -29\\& = -34 + 29\\& = -5\end{aligned}\]
