1. Stating the problem: Evaluate the expression $$[(-10) + (+3) \times (-2)] \times 4$$. 2. Use the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS): first multiplication inside the brackets, then addition, and finally multiplication outside the brackets. 3. Calculate the multiplication inside the brackets: $$+3 \times (-2) = -6$$ 4. Substitute back into the expression: $$(-10) + (-6)$$ 5. Add the numbers inside the brackets: $$-10 + (-6) = -16$$ 6. Now multiply by 4: $$-16 \times 4 = -64$$ Final answer: $$-64$$
