Answer:
The expression is equal to 12.
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]-24-(18 / 6)*(-12)[/tex]
First of all, compute the parenthesis.
18 / 6 = 3
Now, replace 18/6 with 3 in our expression.
[tex]-24-(18 / 6)*(-12)[/tex]
[tex]-24-(3)*(-12)[/tex]
Next, compute the multiplication.
-12 * 3 = -36
Again, we'll replace that multiplication with negative 36:
[tex]-24-(3)*(-12)[/tex]
[tex]-24-(-36)[/tex]
Since subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number:
[tex]-24-(-36) = -24+36[/tex]
Compute the addition:
[tex]-24+36=12[/tex]
[tex]-24-(18 / 6)*(-12) = 12[/tex]
Answer: The expression is equal to 12.
