Question

Drag steps in the given order to evaluate this expression. (−5)(−4)−6−4(6)

Answer 1

According to Order of Operations rules, we must multiply before adding or subtracting. 

With this in mind, notice that the first operation is mult.:  (-5)(-4) = +20.

At the end is another mult.:  -4(6) = -24.

So, write    -20 - 6 - 24.  End result:  -50
