Question

Simplify. - 4 (3 -1) + 2

Answer 1

Hey there!

Just do $\bold{PEMDAS}$

• $\bold{Parentheses//Exponents//Multiplication//Division//Addition//Substraction}$
• $\bold{First:Parentheses}$
• $\bold{(3-1)=2}$
• New $\bold{problem:-4(2)+2}$
• Next we have to do: $\bold{multiplication}$ (since we DON'T have any $\bold{exponents}$)
• $\bold{-4(2)=-8}$
• New $\bold{problem:-8+2}$
• $\bold{Solve}$ that above $\uparrow$
• $\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Answer:-6}}}$ $\checkmark$

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
