( also btw this is isnt a college level question, that was a mistake, its a middle school level question) Can someone please evaluate the following expression:

-8 x (-10) - 7 x 1/-1 = ?



And then explain how you got the answer afterwards?

87.
PEMDAS so u first do -8*-10 which equals a positive 80 because 2 negative’s equals a positive, then you do -7*1 which is -7 and divide it by -1 which is 7 then add it to 80 making it 87
