Solve {c}{3quad-8}{8/1*(-5/4)}

$$\left. \begin{array} { c } { 3 \quad - 8 } \\ { \frac { 8 } { 1 } \cdot ( - \frac { 5 } { 4 } ) } \end{array} \right.$$

Sort

$$-10,-5$$

Solution Steps

Subtract 8 from 3 to get -5.

$$sort(-5,\frac{8}{1}\left(-\frac{5}{4}\right))$$

Anything divided by one gives itself.

$$sort(-5,8\left(-\frac{5}{4}\right))$$

Express 8\left(-\frac{5}{4}\right) as a single fraction.

$$sort(-5,\frac{8\left(-5\right)}{4})$$

Multiply 8 and -5 to get -40.

$$sort(-5,\frac{-40}{4})$$

Divide -40 by 4 to get -10.

$$sort(-5,-10)$$

To sort the list, start from a single element -5.

$$-5$$

Insert -10 to the appropriate location in the new list.

$$-10,-5$$

Evaluate

$$-5,\ -10$$
