(12)(-5)=???

What are you not sure of?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know what to do with the parenthesis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The parenthesis are just to clarify the operation. Without the parenthesis it would look like subtraction. When there is no operator, the operator is assumed to be multiplication.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oooh so it would be -60

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exactly!
