Solve {l}{-2*8/4}{-6*12/9}{5*(-6)/-3}

$$\left. \begin{array} { l } { \frac { - 2 \cdot 8 } { 4 } } \\ { \frac { - 6 \cdot 12 } { 9 } } \\ { \frac { 5 \cdot ( - 6 ) } { - 3 } } \end{array} \right.$$

Sort

$$-8,-4,10$$

Solution Steps

Multiply -2 and 8 to get -16.

$$sort(\frac{-16}{4},\frac{-6\times 12}{9},\frac{5\left(-6\right)}{-3})$$

Divide -16 by 4 to get -4.

$$sort(-4,\frac{-6\times 12}{9},\frac{5\left(-6\right)}{-3})$$

Multiply -6 and 12 to get -72.

$$sort(-4,\frac{-72}{9},\frac{5\left(-6\right)}{-3})$$

Divide -72 by 9 to get -8.

$$sort(-4,-8,\frac{5\left(-6\right)}{-3})$$

Multiply 5 and -6 to get -30.

$$sort(-4,-8,\frac{-30}{-3})$$

Divide -30 by -3 to get 10.

$$sort(-4,-8,10)$$

To sort the list, start from a single element -4.

$$-4$$

Insert -8 to the appropriate location in the new list.

$$-8,-4$$

Insert 10 to the appropriate location in the new list.

$$-8,-4,10$$

Evaluate

$$-4,\ -8,\ 10$$
