hi everyone I'm confused with the following problem.

-+-(-5)

how I can resolve this?. first change the value inside of parenthesis or I begin from left to right?.

  • These are all unary operators, so work from the right to the left. And yes, do the operation inside the parenthesis first. – Rory Daulton Sep 14 '14 at 22:52

This is the same as saying $-1 * 1 * -1 * -5$, so order does not matter (commutative property of multiplication). The answer would be -5.
