Solve (-8)(-2)-(4)(2)/2[8div(2-10)]

$$\frac { ( - 8 ) ( - 2 ) - ( 4 ) ( 2 ) } { 2 [ 8 \div ( 2 - 10 ) ] }$$

Evaluate

$$-4$$

Solution Steps

Multiply -8 and -2 to get 16.

$$\frac{16-4\times 2}{2\times \frac{8}{2-10}}$$

Multiply 4 and 2 to get 8.

$$\frac{16-8}{2\times \frac{8}{2-10}}$$

Subtract 8 from 16 to get 8.

$$\frac{8}{2\times \frac{8}{2-10}}$$

Subtract 10 from 2 to get -8.

$$\frac{8}{2\times \frac{8}{-8}}$$

Divide 8 by -8 to get -1.

$$\frac{8}{2\left(-1\right)}$$

Multiply 2 and -1 to get -2.

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

Divide 8 by -2 to get -4.

$$-4$$

Factor

$$-4$$
