I'm so confused and I'm stuck on these last 5 questions and I don't know what else to do.

ghazi · Answer

can you do it now?

anonymous · Answer

@ghazi no.. i have no idea how to get the answer

ghazi · Answer

(-12-6)/2= -18/2 and (-2-10)/2= -12/2.....now you can simplify it

anonymous · Answer

-9, -6, thank you
