Can someone check my work?(simplifying expressions)

4{-5 + 3[6 - 3(2 + 4)]}

4{-5 + 3[6 - 3(6)]}

4{-5 + 3[6 - 18]}

4{-5 + 3[-12]}

4{-5 - 36}

4{-41} . . . . . Don't leave out this step. Including it makes your steps consistent.
. . . . . . . . . . .It is a part of showing all of your supporting steps with the PEMDAS method.

-164





Also, putting suggested horizontal spacings as above 1) makes it more readable
to others, and 2) makes it less likely for a problem solver to make errors in
simplifying it.
