6 x (-4) – 4 / 2

6 x (-4) – 2

-24 – 2

-26

6 • (–4) – (9 – 5) ÷ 2 = -24 – 4/2 = -24 – 2 = -26

6 * (-4) – (9-5)/2

first do the parenthesis (9-5)=4

6 * (-4) – 4/2

Now multiply the 6 and -4 to give you -24.

-24 – 4/2

Now divide 4 by 2 to give you 2.

-24 – 2

and your final answer is -26.

also another little tip if it’s all adding and subtracting work from left to right then.

-24-(9-5=4)

so -24 – 4=20

20 divided by 2=10

6 * (-4) – (9 – 5) / 2

You must do the things inside the parentheses first.

6 * (-4) – 4 / 2

Now, multiplication.

-24 – 2

Finally, subtract.

-26

That’s your answer.

P-parenthesis

E-exponents

M-multiplication

and

D-division (from left to right)

A-addition

and

S-subtraction (from left to right)

so you solve whatever is in the parenthesis first

6 x (-4) – (9 – 5) ÷ 2

6 x (-4) – (4) ÷ 2

then you solve multiplication and division from left to right, whichever one is first

-24 – 2

then you add or subtract

-26

hope this helped

In that order unless there are brackets around it, then do those first.
