Question

assignment: semester 1 review (due 1-8)
unit 2 - simplifying expressions
compute the value of each expression below.
-14 + (-31)
-(-8) - (-2)
\frac{-16}{-8}
-11(24)

Explanation:

Step1: Add two negative numbers

$-14 + (-31) = -(14+31) = -45$

Step2: Simplify double negatives

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

Step3: Divide two negative numbers

$\frac{-16}{-8} = \frac{16}{8} = 2$

Step4: Multiply negative and positive

$-11 \times 24 = -(11 \times 24) = -264$

Answer:

-45
10
