Question: 1 / 400

What is the result of the expression -7 - (2⁴ ÷ 8)?

-5

To solve the expression -7 - (2⁴ ÷ 8), we first need to evaluate the expression inside the parentheses.

Starting with \(2^4\), we calculate this as:

\[

2^4 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 16

\]

Next, we divide this result by 8:

\[

16 ÷ 8 = 2

\]

Now we substitute back into the original expression:

\[

-7 - (2)

\]

This simplifies to:

\[

-7 - 2 = -9

\]

Since you need to compute the final answer after replacing \( (2^4 ÷ 8) \) with 2, we now have:

\[

-7 - 2 = -9

\]

However, looking at the given answer choices, it appears that there was an oversight in both the question as presented and the answer options provided. The calculated result was -9, which is not listed among the choices.

This indicates that the options must have been prepared incorrectly or the question misinterpreted. The calculation steps show that the correct application of order of operations results in -9 instead of -4
