Answer :

To solve the expression [tex]125 + 3 \times 3 - (-5) \times (-7)[/tex], follow these steps:


  1. Calculate [tex]3 \times 3[/tex]:

    [tex]3 \times 3 = 9[/tex]


  2. 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]


  3. Substitute these values back into the expression:

    [tex]125 + 9 - 35[/tex]


  4. Perform the addition [tex]125 + 9[/tex]:

    [tex]125 + 9 = 134[/tex]


  5. Now, subtract [tex]35[/tex] from [tex]134[/tex]:

    [tex]134 - 35 = 99[/tex]



Therefore, the solution to the expression is [tex]99[/tex].
