Solve 10-(-4)+12div(-3-2)

$$10-(-4)+12 \div (-3-2)$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{58}{5}=11.6$$

Solution Steps

The opposite of -4 is 4.

$$10+4+\frac{12}{-3-2}$$

Add 10 and 4 to get 14.

$$14+\frac{12}{-3-2}$$

Subtract 2 from -3 to get -5.

$$14+\frac{12}{-5}$$

Fraction \frac{12}{-5} can be rewritten as -\frac{12}{5} by extracting the negative sign.

$$14-\frac{12}{5}$$

Convert 14 to fraction \frac{70}{5}.

$$\frac{70}{5}-\frac{12}{5}$$

Since \frac{70}{5} and \frac{12}{5} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{70-12}{5}$$

Subtract 12 from 70 to get 58.

$$\frac{58}{5}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 \cdot 29}{5} = 11\frac{3}{5} = 11.6$$
