So this is the math my boy is doing in grade 8. I have no idea how to help him with this because it’s all foreign to me. I’m fine with basic math, but this stuff is not my territory. Anyone know how to do this type of math?

• Exponents

10 looks like this -3 x (-8-7)

-3 x -15=45

Negitive x a negative is a positive

The hardest year of school for me was grade 12 I decided to keep my options open & took no spares only core subjects. Even university wasn't as hard.

I passed one class because the teacher did not want to deal with me again. She was the only one teaching that class.

My attendance was superb 🤭

What happens if there’s no brackets involved? Do you just advance to the next stage in BEDMAS?

Or do you always use each step, in BEDMAS?

Hope that makes sense lol

Correct #6

-4 -6 / 2

= -5

Dan Wedge 7mo ago

Wait -4 -6 /2

-2 -3 = -5

Jeff 7mo ago

#2 would be -2+ -34=-36?

Jeff 7mo ago

So #3 I think goes like this?

(-4)x(2-6)=16

Bang on!

My brain works better in the morning, with the help of a calculator of course lol.

But I am starting to see how it works.

#7 is -16?

Dan Wedge 7mo ago

Correct

This stuff is easier than I thought, after doing a few lol
