Question

I need help i do not understand this question

Answer 1

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

+2

Discussion:

-8 (17 - 12) / ( -2 (8 - (-2)) )  -

= -8 ( 5) / ( -2 ( 8+2))                          as 17 -12 = 5 and -(-2) = +2

= -40/ ( -2 (10))

= -40/(-20) =

= +2

which is the third choice.

Thank you,

MrB
