Question

How do you simplify `-6+(-3)+(-7) div 4`?

Answer 1

`-4`

Explanation:

For this equation, we need to get rid of the parenthesis first. When we do this we get:
`-6 - 3 -7 -: 4`

The `-3` and `-7` stayed the same because when you open the parenthesis:
- A negative and a negative becomes a positive
- A negative and a positive becomes a negative
- A positive and a positive becomes a positive

We simplify to get:
`-16 -: 4`

Our final answer is:
`-4`
