1) -8 and 3
because -8+3= -5 and -8x3=24
2) -8 and -5
because -8-5=-13 and -8x-5=40

Answer:
D. 18.68
Step-by-step explanation:

Applying PEMDAS as order of operations.
Solving the exponents first ![[(\frac{2}{5})^2=\frac{4}{25}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%28%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B5%7D%29%5E2%3D%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B25%7D%5D)

Multiplying ![[53\times \frac{4}{25}=8.48]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B53%5Ctimes%20%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B25%7D%3D8.48%5D)

Dividing ![[27\div \frac{5}{3}=16.2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B27%5Cdiv%20%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B3%7D%3D16.2%5D)

Adding and subtracting.
