Dont I Do Parenthesis First

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'd say its D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay So I Do (-3-8)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I Got 11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-3-8) = -11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When the numbers a with minuses in front, when you sum up them it's not 11, it's -11 in this way. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I Know I Forgot The Negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, you always do parenthesis first. If you get confused, use PEMDAS. Parenthesis Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction The answer is D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then I Did 4-2*-11 Nd Got 26

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do the multiplication first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2 * -11 = 22 22 + 4 = 26
