OpenStudy (rayman5766):

OpenStudy (rayman5766):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol. just use the order of operations man. You start off with parenthesis which was -8 and -5 later. then start multiplying what needs to be multiplied. 3 * -8, then whatever that equals multiplied by -5. Then you can go ahead and subtract 2 from the product you arrived at. Its all just order of operations.

OpenStudy (rayman5766):

-31

OpenStudy (phi):

it helps to put parens around what you do first. multiply before add/subtract so do this (3 • –8) – (2 • –5)

OpenStudy (phi):

refresh your browser if that is not readable.

OpenStudy (rayman5766):

OpenStudy (rayman5766):

OpenStudy (phi):

(3 . -8) - (2 .-5) -24 - -10 what is -24 - -10 notice the double minus sign

OpenStudy (rayman5766):

OpenStudy (rayman5766):

I am also using the calculator and paper I got 24

OpenStudy (phi):

no, - -10 is + 10

OpenStudy (phi):

so -24 - -10 becomes -24 + 10

OpenStudy (rayman5766):

-14

OpenStudy (rayman5766):
