Step-by-step explanation:
what answer is needed ? the result of the calculation ?
I assume this is the case.
remember that regarding the sequence of operations brackets are first, then exponents, then "dot" operations (× and ÷), and only at the very least come the "dash" operations (+ and -).
and that a combination of - + or + - results in -.
14 + 16 ÷ 2³ - (12 + 3²) ÷ 7 + 2 × (-5) =
14 + 16 ÷ 2³ - (12 + 9) ÷ 7 - 2 × 5 =
14 + 16 ÷ 2³ - 21 ÷ 7 - 2 × 5 =
14 + 16 ÷ 8 - 21 ÷ 7 - 2 × 5 =
14 + 2 - 3 - 10 = 3
