Question

−24 − (18 ÷ 6) × (−12)

Answer 1

12

Explanation:

Answer 2

The expression is equal to 12.

Explanation:

`-24-(18 / 6)*(-12)`

First of all, compute the parenthesis.

18 / 6 = 3

Now, replace 18/6 with 3 in our expression.

`-24-(18 / 6)*(-12)`

`-24-(3)*(-12)`

Next, compute the multiplication.

-12 * 3 = -36

Again, we'll replace that multiplication with negative 36:

`-24-(3)*(-12)`

`-24-(-36)`

Since subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number:

`-24-(-36) = -24+36`

Compute the addition:

`-24+36=12`

`-24-(18 / 6)*(-12) = 12`

Answer: The expression is equal to 12.
