Evaluate the following expression:
62 − 7(8 + 6 − 32)

188

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Distribute

62 − 7(8 + 6 − 32)

62 + (-7 * 8) + (-7 * 6) + (-7 * -32)

62 + (-56) + (-42) + (224)

Step 2:  Combine the first two numbers

(62 - 56) - 42 + 224

6 - 42 + 224

Step 3:  Combine the next two number

(6 - 42) + 224

-36 + 224

Step 4:  Combine the last two number

-36 + 224

188
