(2)(5)-(-2)÷[(4)(5)+(-2)]

klio [65]

(2)(5) - (-2) ÷ [(4)(5) + (-2)] Multiply (2)(5)
10 - (-2) ÷ [(4)(5) + (-2)] Multiply (4)(5)
10 - (-2) ÷ [(20) + (-2)] Simplify the double negative
10 + 2 ÷ [(20) + (-2)] Add 20 + (-2) = 20 - 2
10 + 2 ÷ 18 Add 10 + 2
12 ÷ 18 Divide 12 ÷ 18
$\frac{12}{18}$ Simplify
$\frac{2}{3}$
