Plsss help me I don’t know this

Answer 1

The fraction line means division.

Use PEMDAS (parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction)

Anyways, parenthesis come first in PEMDAS, so:

-8(17-12)/-2(8-(-2))

= -8(5)/-2(10)

Next comes multiplication:

(The -8(5) is another way of -8 x 5)

-40/-20

Lastly, division:

(two negative signs make a positive)

40/20 = 2

Hope this helped!

Explanation:

Tip: solve the stuff inside the parentheses (17-12=5 and 8-(-2)= 10 because 2 negatives make a positive) and then multiply those answers by -8 and -2
