5 x 2 x (-4) + 6 divided by 2

-37

-23

-17

There is a certain order that we follow in doing any mathematical operation:

First we get rid of any operation within brackets, then we do multiplication and divisions and finally we do additions and subtractions.

We need to evaluate: 5x2x (-4) + 6:

So since we have no operations within brackets, then we will do the multiplications first (in their order) then the addition:

5x2x (-4) + 6 = 10x (-4) + 6 = - 40+6 = - 34

Now, we need to divide - 34 by 2:

-34/2 = - 17

The answer is: - 17
