Answer: -16 First you must go with the order of PEMDAS. Since there are no () we can skip to exponents; -2x3^2 - 8 / 2 + 6 can be rewritten as: -2x9 - 8/2 + 6 Then we have multiplication and division. Since there are both operations in this problem, we must solve from left to write.: -2x9 = -18 and 8/2 = 4 So we can rewrite the equation to: -18 -4 + 6 Lastly we have subtraction and addition. -18-4 = -22 so now it’s -22 + 6 = -16
