first the parenthesis. then divide. Divide then just like both numbers are both positive, and add a negative sign to the answer.

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Well you have to work what with inside of the parentheses

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Who is PEMDAS ?

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

whatever you get inside the parentheses your gonna divide it with the rest on the outside of the parentheses

OpenStudy (rayman5766):

Parentheses Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

so you divide - 8 with 56

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
