Answer:

6

Explanation:

Remember PEMDAS

P=Parenthesis. Solve what's inside all sets of parenthesis.

2-12=-10

Now the equation looks like: 2.8/1.4-2/5(-10)

E=Exponents. This equation has none, so we can move on.

MD=Multiplication and Division from left to right.

2.8/1.4=2

New equation: 2-2/5(-10)

2/5=0.4

New equation: 2-0.4(-10)

0.4(-10)=-4

New equation: 2-(-4)

AS=Addition and Subtraction from left to right.

2-(-4)=6
