F = First O = Outside I = Inside L = Last It's for the Order of Operations
A numerical expression.
Order of operation means that you go from the left of your equation to the right always doing multiplication and division first and then addition and subtraction
Literally, it means "First Lady" in Italian. The term has also come to refer to a conceited, temperamental individual.
In this problem we will start by remembering the order of operations, and know that parenthesis come first.Let's assume that our problem is 2w-8(-7w+9), because a term was missing, I am adding this plus sign.Now we have -8 times something in parenthesis, so we will use the distributive property. This is done by taking -8 times the first term, -7w, and then times our second term, 9.So now we have 2w+56w-72.We combine like terms, and get 58w-72.
