Which operation would you do second in the following problem?

(-8 ÷ 4) + 5 + 4(3 - 6)

addition
subtraction
multiplication
division

C. Multiplication

Step-by-Step Explanation:

This problem is testing your knowledge of the Order of Operations. Here is the correct order:

Exponents (inside parenthesis)- There are no exponents for you to solve in this expression, so just ignore this step for now. (example: (4 + 2²) --> (4 + 4))

Parenthesis (from left to right)- In this case, you would solve the expressions inside the parenthesis first because there are no exponents.

Multiplication and Division (from left to right outside of parenthesis)- After solving the expressions inside the parenthesis, there will be one multiplication you need to solve next.

Addition and Subtraction (from left to right outside of parenthesis)- The only operation left for you to do now is addition. You can either do this in one whole step, or you can divide it into two steps. I've done it in two to keep it simple.

Here is the problem worked out in steps in case you are confused:

Step 1: Parenthesis

(-8 ÷ 4) + 5 + 4(3 - 6)

(-2) + 5 + 4(-3)

Step 2: Multiplication

-2 + 5 + 4(-3)

-2 + 5 + (-12)

Step 3: Addition

-2 + 5 + (-12)

3 + (-12)

-9

(Note: '3 + (-12)' could also be written as '3 - 12', making it a subtraction instead of an addition)

Hope this helps!

the answer is (-8,-5)

step-by-step explanation:

the endpoint to midpoint is half the length. the length is (-2,-1) so when you are at the midpoint just add it to it to find your answer -6+(-2)= -8 and -4+(-1)=-5 so (-8,-5)

answer: your answer is a
