Can any one help me with this problem am having trouble with coming up with the answer. 7-(-1)/3(2)-9/(-3)

It depends on how the terms are groups shown by parentheses and/or brackets. It makes things clearer, if you put spaces between the terms, as I did below.

7 - (-1)/3(2) - 9/(-3) = 7+1/6 + 3 = 10 1/6

[7-(-1)]/3(2) - 9/(-3) = 8/6 + 3 = 4 2/3

Certainly! I can help you with that. To solve this expression, you need to follow a specific order of operations called PEMDAS, which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

Let's break down the expression step by step:

1. Start by evaluating the expression inside the parentheses: -(-1). When you have a negative sign in front of a negative number, it becomes a positive. So, -(-1) is equal to 1.

2. Next, we have multiplication. Multiply 3 by 2, which equals 6.

3. Moving forward, divide 7 by 6. This gives us 1 remainder 1.

4. Now, let's tackle the division: -9 divided by -3. When dividing two negative numbers, the result is positive. So, -9 divided by -3 equals 3.

5. Lastly, we have subtraction. Subtract the result from step 3 (1 remainder 1) from the result from step 4 (3). This gives us 3 - (1 remainder 1) = 3 - 1 = 2.

Therefore, the answer to the expression 7 - (-1) / 3(2) - 9 / (-3) is 2.
