Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Evaluate the expression within the parentheses.

    The expression is 26+43/57−70−21+(34)−8726 + 43/57 - 70 - 21 + (34) - 87.
    The term in parentheses is (34)(34), which simplifies to 34.
    The expression becomes:

    26+4357−70−21+34−8726 + \frac{43}{57} - 70 - 21 + 34 - 87
  2. Perform the division.

    The division term is 4357\frac{43}{57}. This fraction cannot be simplified further.

  3. Perform addition and subtraction from left to right for the integer terms.

    Combine all the whole numbers first:

    26−70−21+34−8726 - 70 - 21 + 34 - 87 26−70=−4426 - 70 = -44 −44−21=−65-44 - 21 = -65 −65+34=−31-65 + 34 = -31 −31−87=−118-31 - 87 = -118
  4. Combine the result from Step 3 with the fraction from Step 2.

    We have −118+4357-118 + \frac{43}{57}.
    To add these, find a common denominator, which is 57.
    Convert −118-118 to a fraction with denominator 57:

    −118=−118×5757=−672657-118 = -\frac{118 \times 57}{57} = -\frac{6726}{57}

    Now, add the fractions:

    −672657+4357=−6726+4357-\frac{6726}{57} + \frac{43}{57} = \frac{-6726 + 43}{57} −6726+4357=−668357\frac{-6726 + 43}{57} = \frac{-6683}{57}

    The fraction −668357\frac{-6683}{57} cannot be simplified further.

    The final answer is −668357-\frac{6683}{57}.
