calculate the value of the expression
the quantity two times four minus six minus four divided by negative three
To calculate the value of the expression, we follow the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS/BODMAS).
First, we calculate inside the parentheses:
2 * 4 = 8
Next, we perform the subtraction:
8 - 6 = 2
Then, we perform the division:
4 / (-3) = -1.3333... (rounded to a decimal place)
Finally, we perform the subtraction:
2 - (-1.3333) = 3.3333... (rounded to a decimal place)
Therefore, the value of the expression is approximately 3.3333.
