Answer 1

do u just want an answer?? or do u wanna know how

Answer 2

i dont know how and i need ans answer lol

Answer 3

would you like to learn how?

Answer 4

um well can u plz give me the equations? (answer)

Answer 5

hehe you dont learn anything that way..

Answer 6

ik

Answer 7

sorry someone else might do your homework for you but I won't

Answer 8

ok then teach me

Answer 9

ok so with this one we gotta kinda anticipate what will happen.. since the numbers need to be between that rang the goal here is to keep the numbers reletively small

Answer 10

also we have to make a divion so well have to use easy number for that

Answer 11

ok

Answer 12

we have -2 8 -6 and 1 the division should be done first to get it out of the way

Answer 13

...okk

Answer 14

so divide two of those numbers

Answer 15

any two?

Answer 16

yep any two.. but i would pick an easy two

Answer 17

like?

Answer 18

thats what you gotta figure out...

Answer 19

do you know what division is?

Answer 20

yes of course! so i could divide 8 and -6?

Answer 21

well those two would be difficult to divie because the answer is 8/6 = 4/3

Answer 22

try another two

Answer 23

ok, um -2 / 1?

Answer 24

that works... but we need to keep our numbers small because we want our answer to be small.. so if it was me i would use this opportunity to get rid of a big number

Answer 25

ok 8 / -2

Answer 26

yea! thats your best bet

Answer 27

so whats that equal

Answer 28

-4

Answer 29

ok so now we have -4.. we need to either + - or * to any of these numbers -2 -6 or 1

Answer 30

you can decide how to do this next step just remember we need to keep our numbers small

Answer 31

im confused already

Answer 32

ok so we have -4

Answer 33

and we have either three options

we can add
we can subtract
or we can multiply

Answer 34

which one would you like to do

Answer 35

for what?

Answer 36

for the next step

Answer 37

....so what options do i have? i dont know what to do

Answer 38

ok it seems you dont understnad what the question is asking for

Answer 39

lets look back up to the top

Answer 40

ok

Answer 41

Using each of the Integers (-2), (+8), (-6), and (+1) at least once, create four different expressions that include + - / and x at least once and result in an answer between (-10) and (+10)

this seems confusing but i promise its hecka easy once you it clicks

Answer 42

ok whatever u say!

Answer 43

ok so basically what they want you to do is add subtract multiply and divide

Answer 44

right

Answer 45

and you must you those number they give you once each

Answer 46

ok

Answer 47

the only restrictoin is that your number is smaller than 10

Answer 48

yup

Answer 49

otherwise you are free to add sub mult and divide those numbers in any sequence you want

Answer 50

m hm

Answer 51

we divided first cause it usually is the trickiest

Answer 52

ok

Answer 53

but to satisfy the question we still need to multiply add and subtract

Answer 54

ok so can i multiply next then?

Answer 55

sure! =)

Answer 56

ok, but what do i multiply?

Answer 57

so we ended with -4 what would you like to multiply it by?

Answer 58

so out of the given numbers right?

Answer 59

yeo but we cant use one we already used

Answer 60

ok so multiply -4 by . . . -6?

Answer 61

well we want small numbers... rember our restricton

Answer 62

ok so multiply by .... what would be the best?

Answer 63

lol theres only one other option

Answer 64

....whic is? . . . -2?

Answer 65

no wait +1

Answer 66

we used negitive 2 in the first exquation

Answer 67

yep!

Answer 68

ok so then go -4 x +1

Answer 69

ok so so far we have

8/-2 = -4

-4 * 1 =

Answer 70

-4

Answer 71

yeo whats it equal

Answer 72

=)

Answer 73

ok do you want to plus or minus?

Answer 74

umm plus .. .-6?

Answer 75

sure

Answer 76

which equals -5, and the i have to subtract . . but i used all the numbers

Answer 77

8/-2 = -4

-4 * 1 = -4

-4 + -6 = ??

Answer 78

-5

Answer 79

-4 + -6 is the same as

-4 - 6

Answer 80

ok

Answer 81

what -1 -1 = ??

Answer 82

-2

Answer 83

ok.. what about -2 -2 =??

Answer 84

-4

Answer 85

nice!

Answer 86

what about -4-6=??

Answer 87

-10 .. why r u asking me these? arent we doing the equation

Answer 88

nice! hehe because you just told me that -4 -6 = -5 ; )

Answer 89

ooo

Answer 90

8/-2 = -4
-4 * 1 = -4
-4 + -6 = -10
-10 -?? = ???

Answer 91

7

Answer 92

ok so if you read it you have to use each number "at least once" this means you are allowed to use a any number twice if you would like

Answer 93

ok...

Answer 94

so pick one that will make -10 become closer to 0

Answer 95

umm.... -6?

Answer 96

ding ding ding!!

Answer 97

8/-2 = -4
-4 * 1 = -4
-4 + -6 = -10
-10 -(-6) = ???

Answer 98

yay! lol so i subtract that from 7?
