Answer 10

your welcome! Just remember when you have an equation like that always use order of operations. PEMDAS: Paranthesis, Exponents, Muliply, Divide, Add, Subtract, but always do the adding first if it's in front of the subtracint. LEft to right.. For example: 5+6-9 you do 5+6 first then -9 mkay?
