Use the rule for order of operations to simplify the expression
Please help..
The answer is 96
calculations in brackets are always done first, so it becomes:
6 - 5[2(-8)-5(-2)]
then multiply out the round brackets:
6 - 5[-16-(-10)] = 6 - 5[-6]
then multiply out the square brackets:
6 - (-30)
subtracting a negative is the same as adding:
6 - (-30) = 6 + 30 = 36
so the answer is 36
6-5[2(-8) -5(-2)] ------> 6-5[(-16)-(-10)] -------> 6-5[-6] = 36
