-3+-17---3+10

Question

solve

 

Answer 1

The order of operation is to first simplify the number to be divided (-20) and also the divider(13). That gives you -20/13.

 

Before you do the division between top and bottom numbers you must compute both the number being divided and the divider. only then can you divide them.

 

Addition and subtraction before the division.

Answer 2

I am confused as to what "---" means, but if that is a division sign, when you add a negative number with another negative number, you treat it like you add positive numbers. So, -3 + -17 = -20. Same situation with 3+10, just positive numbers. So, 3+10 = 13. Then simplify, so -20/13.
