-10+2/6.(-7)
To solve this equation, you need to follow the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS).
First, perform the division operation inside the parentheses:
2/6 = 1/3
Next, multiply the result above by -7:
(1/3) * (-7) = -7/3
Finally, add -10 to the result obtained:
-10 + (-7/3)
To perform this addition, you need to find a common denominator for -7/3 and -10.
The common denominator is 3, so multiply -10 by 3/3:
-10 * 3/3 = -30/3
Now, the equation becomes:
-30/3 + (-7/3)
Combine the two fractions:
(-30 - 7)/3 = -37/3
Therefore, -10 + 2/6 * (-7) equals -37/3.
