I'll do a and e on the first one to show you how to do it

Then See if you can do the rest

a. 6(-3)

When your multiplying or dividing with negative numbers; If one of your numbers is negative like the one above, your answer will be negative

So 6 × 3 = 18 ; but since there is a negative on the 3 your answer will be -18

e. -20 ÷ 5

same for this; 20 ÷ 5 = 4, but since the 20 is negative the answer will be -4

You do b, c, d, and f on the first question. Tell me what you get and we'll go from there

Now for the second question

I will do a and d to show you how to do this then you do the rest (I'm inserting a picture with these)

a.
4(-2 (1)/(3)) + 7 (1)/(6)
First go ahead and turn the fractions into improper fractions, this makes them a bit easier to work with. When multiplying fractions; they do not need a common denominator, all you do is multiply top by top and bottom by bottom.
However, when you add and subtract fractions you MUST have a common denominator

d. (-4.25)(2) + (-4.25)(-2)
remember from the first problem a negative times a positive gives you a negative

but when you times a negative by a negative you get a positive


Now you try b and c; let me know what you get, and we'll go from there!
