Do the parentheses first (3 - 4 ) then in this case 6 - 2

((3 - 4)) = -1 (Since this equal a negative number we will take this out0

6 - 2 = 4

the we change the subtraction ( - ) symbol to a(n) addition ( + ) symbol for the one in 6 - 2

So, it becomes 6 + (2)
Because you had to divide ( ÷ ) and multiply ( × ) on the both of your sides.. }{from the leftside to the rightside}

Then 6 + 2 = 8

This can be your explaination ↑
