1. Remember to follow PEMDAS. First, solve the parenthesis, then multiply by 9
30 - 2 = 28
28 x 9 = 252
252 is your answer for your first question
2. Again, follow PEMDAS & left -> right rule. First, solve for multiplication, then division, and finally addition.
First, multiply: 9 x 2 = 18
Next, divide: 18/-3 = -6
Finally, add: -8 + -6 = -8 - 6 = -14
-14 is your answer
