Answer 1

Do you know your order of operations?

Answer 2

If so, just apply that.

Answer 3

Alright. I presume 32(-5+1) is 32*(-5+1)?

Answer 4

I just want to make sure I'm understanding that little bit right.

Answer 5

In any event, you recall PEMDAS- First, parenthesis. (-5+1)=(-4).

Answer 6

No exponents, so you move on to multiplication: 32(-4), or -128.

Answer 7

Then do -128/2, since division is next.

Answer 8

Add 7.

Answer 9

Hm...but that doesn't seem to fit any of the three answers you put up.

Answer 10

That would come out to -57.

Answer 11

Are you sure there isn't any bit of the equation you're missing, on the next line?
Possibly an answer you didn't show?

Answer 12

7 + 32 (-5 + 1) ÷ 2

7 + 32 (-5 + 1)/2

7 + 16 (-4)

Answer 13
