Answer
$-100 - (-5)^3$;
The simplified form of the expression is equal to $25$.
Work Step by Step
The cube of $-5$ is $(-5)^3$.
Subtracting this to $-100$ gives:
$-100 - (-5)^3$
The order of operations states that to simplify the expression, the exponent must be applied first before the subtraction is performed.
Thus,
$-100-(-5)^3 = -100-(-125) =-100+125 = 25$
