[Positive 5 or negative 5 depending on if your using PEMDAS]
-5 if your doing PEMDAS
Cuz You do division first -12/-4=3 Cuz a negative divided by a negative is positive
Then add 3 to -8 and that’s -5 since the 8 is negative and the three is positive we’re subtracting 3 from -8

But if your NOT doing PEMDAS then the answer is a positive 5
[-8+ (-12)= -20/-4= 5]

Answer:

5

Explanation:

1. Add -8 to -12. This equals -20.

2. Now you have -20/(-4)

3. Solve this by dividing -20 and -4.

4. Two negatives make a positive, so your answer would be 5.

Hope this helps
