Question
$$2^3-4(2+1-2+4-3)+4(1+2-5) = 0$$
Answer
This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} 2^3-4(2+1-2+4-3)+4(1+2-5) &= 0&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]2^3-4\cdot2+4\cdot(-2) &= 0&& \\[1 em]2^3-8+(-8) &= 0&& \\[1 em]8-8+(-8) &= 0&& \\[1 em]8-8+(-8) &= 0&& \\[1 em]-8 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ -8 = 0 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
