Answer
The expression that we will evaluate is $-10 - (-2)^3$.
The expression is evaluated to $-2$.
Work Step by Step
First, let's translate this problem into an algebraic expression we can simplify:
Cube $-2$ means $(-2)^3$.
We subtract this expression from $-10$ to get the following expression:
$$-10 - (-2)^3$$
According to order of operations, let's evaluate the exponent first:
$$-10 - (-8)$$
When we subtract a negative number, this means that we add the number:
$$-10 + 8$$
Let's do the addition:
$$-2$$
The expression is evaluated to $-2$.
