please help?

Answer 1

follow PEMDAS/PEDMAS
start by evaluating what's in parentheses
nothing there so we go to the exponents and evaluate \((-4)^2\) first

Answer 2

do you want me to just write it out?

Answer 3

sure because i seriously have no idea-

Answer 4

PEMDAS - parentheses exponents multiplication/division addition/subtraction
remember that this goes from left to right

step 1, evaluate (-4)^2=16
now we have \(-12\div3*(-8+16-6)+2\)
we're done with exponents

step 2: finish evaluating what's in the parentheses.
\(-12\div3*(2)+2\)
now we're done with the P and E in pemdas

step 3: divide first because it comes first going left to right
\(-12\div3=-4\)
\(4*(2)+2\)

step 4: multiply
\(8+2\)

step 5: add
10

Answer 5

Answer 7

step 4 is supposed to be \(-8+2\)

step 5 should be -6
