  1. Order goes: Multiplication and division then subtraction and division. Do parentheses and absolute values first before everything else.

    Start with the absolute value: -5+5 = 0. 0 has an absolute value of 0. Times -2 is 0. So you are left with (-3)(-3) - 3 -0. Multiply first, then subtract. 9-3 = 6.


  2. 19

    good luck

  3. Remember (please excuse my dear aunt sally)?

    (-3)(-3)-3-2l(-6)+5l =

    (-3)(-3)-3-2l-1l

    (-3)(-3)-3-2

    (9)-3-2

    6-2

    4

  4. ok so (-3)(-3),means multyplying them.. the answer to that is +9, or 9 so then it;s 9 -3 -2 (-3)-2-+5

    so now its 9 plus negative 3, which is 6 so now its 6-3-2(-3)-2+5

    6 plus negative 3 is 3, so its 3 -2 (-3)-2+5

    3 plus negative 2 is 1 so its 1(-3)-2 +5

    1 times negative 3 is negative 3 so its -3 -2 +5

    -3 plus -2 is -5

    so its

    -5 +5

    which should be zero...
