Answer 1

first do -7 times -5 because Parentheses means multiplication. After, you would add your answer to -8. Your answer would be 27.

Answer 2

27

Explanation:

Remember to follow PEMDAS. Note that, when multiplying or dividing:

1) one positive and one negative = negative number

2) two positive = positive number

3) two negative = positive number

(-7)(-5) = -7 * -5 = 35

+(-8) = +1 * -8 = -8

Subtract:

35 - 8 = 27

27 is your answer.
