Question

(10+-7 - -2) / (-2 - -1)

Answer 1

Nice use of brackets. We know exactly what you mean.

(10 - 7 + 2) / (-2 + 1) Notice that with an even number of - signs, you get a plus and with and odd number you get a minus.

(5) / (-1) = - 5 answer

Edit

Numerator

10 does not change.

+ - 7 Here a plus and a minus are put together. There is 1 minus sign which is an odd number of minus signs so the 7 is minus

- - 2 Here there are 2 minus signs. They become plus because 2 is even, and an even number of minuses become a plus so you have +2

10 - 7 + 2 = 5

Denominator

-2 does not change. It remains minus 2.

- - 1 There are 2 minus signs so this becomes plus 1.

- 2 + 1 = - 1

Numerator over denominator = 5/-1 = - 5. I'll probably run out of editing time. If you still don't understand, try and pinpoint the problem and we'll keep trying until you do see it. This question is worth it.

Answer 2

The answer is
(3 +2=5)/(-2 +1=-1)
