Question

you have grouping symbols so perform what is inside their first
in the order of operations, the multiplication comes before the addition

so what goes here after performing the operations inside this brackett

Answer 4

I keep getting -63 there

Answer 5

you have 3+(-2)5
3+(-10)
-7
inside the brackett

Answer 6

24+5[-7]

Answer 7

Answer 8

now again multiplication comes before addition
so now we have
24+(-35)

Answer 9

Answer 10

oooo I see where I messed up now

Answer 11

-840?

Answer 12

no

Answer 13

do you understand what I did up to 24+(-35) ?

Answer 14

Yes I do

Answer 15

-11, I add 24 to negative 35?

Answer 16

ok so this addition
and one of the numbers have a negative sign and the other has a positive sign in front of it

we have 24 and 35
35>24
so since we have a negative in front of the 35 our answer will be negative (since the larger number has a negative sign in front of it)
Now since we have oppsite signs, you must take the smaller one away from the bigger one
35
- 24
----
11
now we said our answer is negative since we have 24+(-35)
so the answer is -11

Answer 17

so perform was is inside there first
43+12/4 -(-3)
