Which of these expressions have negative values? Select all that apply.

[tex]\[ 2+2(-3)(7) \][/tex]

[tex]\[ -2(27 \div 9) + 4 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ (14 \div -2)(-6) \][/tex]

[tex]\[ (4-10)-(8 \div (-2)) \][/tex]



Answer :

Let's evaluate each expression step-by-step to determine which ones have negative values.

1. Evaluate [tex]\(2 + 2(-3)(7)\)[/tex]:

First, calculate inside the parentheses:
[tex]\[ -3 \times 7 = -21 \][/tex]

Then, multiply by 2:
[tex]\[ 2 \times -21 = -42 \][/tex]

Finally, add 2:
[tex]\[ 2 + (-42) = -40 \][/tex]

So, the value of [tex]\(2 + 2(-3)(7)\)[/tex] is [tex]\(-40\)[/tex], which is negative.

2. Evaluate [tex]\(-2(27 \div 9) + 4\)[/tex]:

First, perform the division inside the parentheses:
[tex]\[ 27 \div 9 = 3 \][/tex]

Then, multiply by -2:
[tex]\[ -2 \times 3 = -6 \][/tex]

Finally, add 4:
[tex]\[ -6 + 4 = -2 \][/tex]

So, the value of [tex]\(-2(27 \div 9) + 4\)[/tex] is [tex]\(-2\)[/tex], which is negative.

3. Evaluate [tex]\((14 \div -2)(-6)\)[/tex]:

First, perform the division inside the parentheses:
[tex]\[ 14 \div -2 = -7 \][/tex]

Then, multiply by -6:
[tex]\[ -7 \times -6 = 42 \][/tex]

So, the value of [tex]\((14 \div -2)(-6)\)[/tex] is [tex]\(42\)[/tex], which is positive.

4. Evaluate [tex]\((4 - 10) - (8 \div -2)\)[/tex]:

First, perform the subtraction and division inside the parentheses:
[tex]\[ 4 - 10 = -6 \][/tex]
and
[tex]\[ 8 \div -2 = -4 \][/tex]

Then, subtract -4 from -6:
[tex]\[ -6 - (-4) = -6 + 4 = -2 \][/tex]

So, the value of [tex]\((4 - 10) - (8 \div -2)\)[/tex] is [tex]\(-2\)[/tex], which is negative.

Summarizing the expressions:
- [tex]\(2 + 2(-3)(7) = -40\)[/tex] (negative)
- [tex]\(-2(27 \div 9) + 4 = -2\)[/tex] (negative)
- [tex]\((14 \div -2)(-6) = 42\)[/tex] (positive)
- [tex]\((4 - 10) - (8 \div -2) = -2\)[/tex] (negative)

Therefore, the expressions that have negative values are:
[tex]\[ 2 + 2(-3)(7), \quad -2(27 \div 9) + 4, \quad \text{and} \quad (4 - 10) - (8 \div -2) \][/tex]
