Answer 2

hmm you have to always Multiply or Divide (whichever comes first from the left) first, then Add or Subtract (whichever comes first from the left)
so, 8.75+12(-0.8)/6 becomes, 8.75 + (-9.6)/6 after we multiply, then
8.75 +(-1.6) after we divide, then, 8.75-1.6 gives 7.15.
Always remember that order of operations. M,D then A,S
