Question

Evaluate the expression. ( – 5+ – 9)× – 3÷ – 2

Answer 1

Answer:

-21.

Step-by-step explanation:

( – 5+ – 9)× – 3÷ – 2

Using order of operations we work out the parentheses first:

= (-5 - 9) * -3 / 2

= -14 * -3 / -2  Now the multiplication followed by the division:

= 42 / -2

= -21.

Answer 2

Answer:

$-21$

Step-by-step explanation:

$( - 5+ - 9) \times - 3 \div - 2$

Solve the brackets first.

$( - 14) \times - 3 \div - 2$

Division comes next.

$( - 14) \times - 3/-2$

Cancel the negative signs.

$- 14 \times 3/2$

Multiply the terms.

$-42/2$

$=-21$
