use brackets or the * symbol to indicate multiplication
that is,
12*5/(-2) + 4 or (12)(5)/(-2) + 4

To evaluate the expression 12x5 / (-2) - 4, you need to follow the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS):
1. Perform the multiplication: 12 multiplied by 5, which equals 60.
2. Divide the result from step 1 by -2. 60 divided by -2 gives us -30.
3. Finally, subtract 4 from the result obtained in step 2. -30 minus 4 equals -34.
Therefore, 12x5 / (-2) - 4 equals -34.
