Full solution

Q. Evaluate:\newline5(7)25 - (-7) - 2
  1. Deal with double negative: First, we need to deal with the double negative between 55 and 7–7. Subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive, so 5−–75 − –7 becomes 5+75 + 7.\newline5+7=125 + 7 = 12
  2. Subtract and add: Now, we take the result from the first step, which is 1212, and subtract 22 from it.122=1012 − 2 = 10
