i need a bit of help answering this and a thorough step by step explanation of why it’s that answer. The equation is -7( - 8 - (- 6) + 8 ÷ (-2)³).

Step-by-step explanation:

-7( - 8 - (- 6) + 8 ÷ (-2)³)

-7( - 8 - (- 6) + 8 ÷ (-8))

-7( - 8 - (- 6) -1)

-7( - 8 + 6 -1)

-7-3

-10

21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start solving the equation step by step:

-7 (-8 - (-6) + 8 ÷ (-2)³)

So, let's start with solving 2³

2³ = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8

So, the equation will be:

-7 (-8 - (-6) + 8 ÷ -8)  

= -7 (-8 + 6 + (-1))  [1. I have divided 8 and 8 to get -1]

                            [2. I have performed (-ve × -ve = +ve) to get +6]

= -7 (-8 + 6 - 1)      [I have performed (-ve × +ve = -ve) to get -1]

= -7 (-3)                 [I have added -8 and 6 and (-1)]

= -7 × -3 = 21         [-ve × -ve = +ve]

Thus, the answer is 21

If I am wrong, please do correct me :)

i think the answer is b)
