Answer:

1.

Explanation:

The equation 8 - 9 + 8 / 4 is given.

When solving equations with multiple signs in them, we need to follow PEMDAS.

Which is an acronym for a series of equations you need to follow in order.

Parenthesis

Exponent

Multiply

Divide

Addition

Subtraction.

So look at the equation, 8 / 4 would be first since it is dividing.

8 / 4

2

8 - 9 + 2

Now when it comes down to the last two of PEMDAS (Addition and Subtraction), we can just solve left to right.

Therefore,

8 - 9

-1

-1 + 2
