Which of the following has the same value as (-2)5(-2)-8? a. (-2)3 b. 2)3 c. (-2)-13 d. 2-13

When solving (-2)5(-2)-8, you would first, following PEMDAS ofcourse, multiply -2 and 5, getting -10. Then you would multiply -2 and -10, which would be positive 20. Lastly, you would subtract 8 from 20, which equals 12.

I cannot find an answer within the options you gave me, but I am 100% sure that (-2)5(-2)-8 equals 12.
