(-8 + 5) x 2 = -3 x 2 = -6. Remember: a negative times a positive equals a negative
|
A negative times a negative equals a positive, so -6 x -6 is the same as 6 x 6 = 36

We can group the numbers into positives and negatives:
-73 - 12 + -50 + 20 = (-73 + -12 + -50) + 20 = -135 + 20 = -115 |
The -18 and +18 in this question cancel each other out:
-64 - 18 - 20 + 18 = -64 - 20 = -84 |

Remember: a negative divided by a negative equals a positive

(-15 - 10) ÷ 5 = -25 ÷ 5 = -5. Remember: a negative divided by a positive equals a negative

We can group positive and negative numbers together:
27 + -14 + -3 - 2 + 15 = (-14 + -3 + -2) + (27 + 15) = -19 + 42 = 23 |
Starting at -7: adding 3 makes -4, subtracting 12 makes -16, and adding 2 makes -14

(2 x -4) ÷ 4 = -8 ÷ 4 = -2. Remember: a positive times a negative equals a negative, and a negative divided by a positive equals a negative
|
A negative divided by a negative equals a positive so -20 ÷ -5 is the same as 20 ÷ 5 = 4
4 x 10 = 40 |
