Question

what is the solution of the expression 8(-9)-6(-3)

Answer 1

The solution to this is -54.

In order to do this, you need to use Pemdas.

Pemdas:

1. P - Parentheses
2. E - Exponents (Powers and Square Roots)
3. MD - Multiplication and Division (Left to Right)
4. AS - Addition and Subtraction (Left to Right)

So, you use the distibutive property to get rid of both of the parentheses.

8 times -9 = -72
6 times -3 = -18

Then, you have the next equation of:
(-72) - (-18) = -54

So, -54 is your final answer. I hope this helps!!! :)
