Solve -12:-6·(-8+4): Order of Operations with Negative Numbers

$-12:-6\cdot(-8+4)=$

Let's first solve the expression in parentheses:

$-8+4=-4$

Now the expression is:

$-12:-6\times-4=$

Let's solve the expression from left to right.

We'll write the division as a simple fraction like this:

$\frac{-12}{-6}=$

Note that we are dividing between two negative numbers, so the result must be a positive number:

$\frac{-}{-}=+$

Therefore:

$\frac{12}{6}=2$

Now the expression we got is:

$2\times-4=$

Note that we are multiplying a positive number by a negative number, so the result must be a negative number:

$+\times-=-$

Therefore the result is:

$2\times-4=-8$
