Hey there,

8/(-4) = -2.

-12 + 20 equals 8 so we will divide that by that answer.

Which concludes that -2 is your correct answer.

-12 + 20 = 8

then divide the answer by -4

8/(-4) = -2

when you divide a negative number, the answer will be the opposite sign of the numerator

-2 is your answer

hope this helps
