Question

Do I use pemdas for this problem, if I do, how would I solve it with it?

Answer 1

Answer:

PEMDAS does apply but not with the parentheses

The answer is −3g−4 btw

Explanation:

Let's simplify step-by-step.

−2g+7−(g+11)

Distribute the Negative Sign:

=−2g+7+−1(g+11)

=−2g+7+−1g+(−1)(11)

=−2g+7+−g+−11

Combine Like Terms:

=−2g+7+−g+−11

=(−2g+−g)+(7+−11)

=−3g+−4
