alright so this time, we see the negative seperated, so we can write

(-2-(-6)/-2) x 12/-6

use order of operations
PEMDAS
parentasees first
then exponents
then muliptly or divide
add or subtract

simplify inside parnethasees first
-2-(-6)/-2
do multiplication first
ok, so -(-6)=+6
that counts as multiplication
-2+6/-2
division
6/-2=-3
now we got
-2-3=-5

so

(-5) x 12 / -6
now multiply -5 and 12
-60

now we gots
-60/-6
divide
-60/-6=60/6=10

the result is 10
