Start with the numerator (the top) ==> multiply out:

-3[6+2] = -18-6 = -24

Now lets address the denominator

(-2) + 10 = 10-2 = 8

Now we have -24/8 = -3

The result is -3

Hi, to solve the problem, u simply have to follow BODMAS(Bracket, Of, Division, Multiplacation, Addition, Subtraction).

It is the sequence of solving any such problem.

For this problem, here are the steps:

-3[6+2]/(-2)+10

= -3[8]/(-2)+10

= (-24)/(-2)+10

= 12+10

= 22

Hope it helps you. Bye!

first of all, do the parenthesis. (6+2) = 8

then, with pemdas (paranthesis, exponents, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction), -3 x 8, which is -24. then, divide -24 by -2, which is 12, then add 10 + 12, which is 22, your answer.

you do the brackets: [6+2]=8.

Then you do -3[8]/(-2)= (-24)/(-2)= 12

After that, you simply do 12+10=22

Edit: Wait, are you doing systems of equation or fraction stuff?
