Certainly! Let's break down the expression [tex]\(2 \times (3 + (-5))\)[/tex] step-by-step.
1. Identify the innermost expression:
First, we look inside the parentheses. The innermost expression is [tex]\(3 + (-5)\)[/tex].
2. Perform the operation inside the parentheses:
Calculate [tex]\(3 + (-5)\)[/tex].
[tex]\[
3 + (-5) = -2
\][/tex]
3. Multiply the result by the outer coefficient:
Now multiply the result, [tex]\(-2\)[/tex], by the outer coefficient, which is [tex]\(2\)[/tex].
[tex]\[
2 \times -2 = -4
\][/tex]
Therefore, the value of [tex]\(2 \times (3 + (-5))\)[/tex] is [tex]\(-4\)[/tex].
