Question

M ÷ n - 3 (m + n) with m=-10 and n=-2

Answer 1

Given:
m/n-3(m+n)
m=-10 and n=-2

Solving:

-10/-2-3(-10-2) Since m=-10 and n=-2, we substitute them in for the values since they have an equal relationship.

Now, follow Orders of Operations: PEMDAS


-10/-2-3(-12) Simplify parentheses (P)
There are no Exponents (E)
Multiplication (M) and Division (D) are =, so we do whatever operation comes from the left to right.
-10/-2=5 Division comes first on the left.
therefore:
5-3(-12)

-3(12)=-36, Multiplication is last on the right.
therefore:
5-36

5-36=-31 After M/D, we do Addition and Subtraction, which are also =, so we do them left to right.

Therefore -10/-2-3(-10-2)=-31
