Following PEMDAS is crucial to solving these. Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally

P - Parenthesis

E - Exponents

M - Multiplication

D - Division

A - Addition

S - Subtraction

Multiplication/Division and Addition/Subtraction are interchangeable.

Now then, number 1 has the following:


4-2*409-8*96

There are no parenthesis or exponents, but there is multiplication, so we will start with multiplying. There are two multiplication expressions in the problem.


-2 * 409 = -818


-8 * 96 = -768

Since you did that, your answer has been simplified to:


4-818-768

Now, all you have to do is combine your like terms. Since every term is alike, you can combine the whole expression.


4-818-768 = -1582

So, your final answer would be:


4-2*409-8*96 = -1582

Hopefully with this information, you can solve the rest. If you have any questions, let me know.
