Answer :
To solve the expression [tex]125 + 3 \times 3 - (-5) \times (-7)[/tex], follow these steps:
Calculate [tex]3 \times 3[/tex]:
[tex]3 \times 3 = 9[/tex]
Calculate [tex](-5) \times (-7)[/tex]: In multiplication, a negative number times a negative number results in a positive number.
[tex](-5) \times (-7) = 35[/tex]
Substitute these values back into the expression:
[tex]125 + 9 - 35[/tex]
Perform the addition [tex]125 + 9[/tex]:
[tex]125 + 9 = 134[/tex]
Now, subtract [tex]35[/tex] from [tex]134[/tex]:
[tex]134 - 35 = 99[/tex]
Therefore, the solution to the expression is [tex]99[/tex].
