    -14 is the answer according to my calculations and how u wrote out the problem...but i could be wrong!

    now this is crazy...we all have different answers!!!

  4. (-10) + (12) / 2 = 1

    1-8 = -7

    but i could be wrong i havent used the order of operations in a while.

    it's pemdas though.

  5. PEMDAS

    Parens, then Exponents, then Multiply/Divide, then Add/Subtract

    6(-4) - 3(-4) ÷ 2 - 8

    Do the multiplies and divides first, left to right:

    -24 - 3(-4) ÷ 2 - 8

    -24 - (-12) ÷ 2 - 8

    -24 - (-6) - 8

    Last, do add/subtract, left to right:

    -18 - 8

    -26

  6. Hey buddy, it's no problem once you get it. Just remember this saying: "please excuse my dear aunt sally" aka "PEMDAS"

    Parenthesis

    Exponents

    Multiply

    Division

    Add

    Subtract

    6(-4) - 3(-4) / 2-8                (multiply)

    -24 + 12 / 2-8                     (divide)

    -24 + 6 - 8                          (add)

    -18 - 8                                (subtract)

    = -26

    I'm pretty sure that's the answer.

    E xponents

    D ivision

    M ultiplication

    A dding

    S Subtracting

    For dividing and multiplying, the order doesn't matter. It does not matter what order you do your adding and subtracting in either. With these rules, it's whatever comes first

    and btw, the answer is -26

  8. solve it its -152

  9. Pemdas

    Parrenthesis

    exponets

    multi/div

    add/sub

    6(-4) -3(-4) divided by 2-8

    -6-12/2 -8

    -18/-6

    answer id +3


  10. 6(-4)-3(-4)÷2-8

    Divide the expression.

    Multiply -3 by -4 in the numerator.

    Multiply -3 by -4 to get 12.

    Reduce the expression  by removing a factor of 2 from the numerator and denominator.

    6(-4)+6-8

    Complete the multiplication of 6 by each term inside the parenthesis.

    -24+6-8

    Add 6 to -24 to get -18.

    -18-8

    Subtract 8 from -18 to get -26.

    -26  ....................thx ∞
