Question

What is the answer to -1/2*6(1+1)

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} \text{ Given} \\ -(1)/(2)\cdot6\lparen1+1) \end{gathered}`

By order of operations we start with simplifying the parenthesis

`\begin{gathered} -(1)/(2)\cdot6\left(2\right) \\ \\ \text{ Next, since the remaining operation is multiplication, do the operation} \\ \text{ from left to right} \\ =-(1)/(2)\cdot6\cdot2 \\ =-3\cdot2 \\ =-6 \\ \text{ Therefore,} \\ -(1)/(2)\cdot6\left(1+1\right)=-6 \end{gathered}`
