Answer: -24
Explanation:
⇒4(-8)+8
in such questions, first solve the bracket. In this question there is only a single term within the bracket, -8. Brackets usually mean multiplication. So we multiply 8 by 4 to get 32. Now since we need to give 32 a sign as well, so in case of multiplication we multiply the sign of 8 and 4 together i.e negative and positive respectively. Negative positive multiplied give us negative. Therefore the sign of 32 will be negative.
⇒- 32 + 8
now again we are stuck with the sign issue. Notice that we have both a negative and a positive sign as well. How do we know if we are supposed to add or subtract? In order to decide which operation we apply on the two numbers, we first multiply the signs. Negative positive multiplied give negative, therfore we will do subtraction. 32 subtracted from 8 gives 24. Now again we are supposed to give 24 a sign. Unlike in multiplication, when we do addition or subtraction, instead of multiplying the signs to give the result a sign, we look for the sign of the greater operand, i.e 32, because 32 is greater than 8 and has a negative sign, so we give 24 a negative sign.
