What do you do when there are 2 brackets in a BEDMAS equation?

Apply BEDMAS to all expressions you try to work out.You work out the innermost brackets first and then use that result in working out the outermost brackets.Example:6 x (9 - (4 + 3))Applying BEDMAS means you work out the bracketed expression:9 - (4 + 3)before doing the multiplication. So applying BEDMAS to this, you work out the bracketed expression:4 + 3before doing the subtraction:6 x (9 - (4 + 3)) = 6 x (9 - 7)= 6 x 2= 12


What is BEDMAS?

BEDMAS is a way to remember order of operations in math it stands for brackets,equations,division,multiplication,addition,and subtraction.


If your positive and negative number are the same does it become a negative number or positive number?

It depends on what you are doing to the two identical numbers. If you are multiplying them, it becomes a negative. If you are dividing them, it becomes a negative. If you are adding them, it will always be zero (e.g., 2+ -2 = 0, etc.). There are two ways to subtract. If you are subtracting a positive from a negative, the number remains negative. If you are subtracting a negative from a positive, or a negative from a negative, the negative becomes a positive and you just add from there.

Why does a negative plus a negative equal a negative?

A negative plus a negative equals a negative because the operation you're doing is equivalent to subtraction. If you wrote down a sum "negative 3 plus negative 7" it would look like this: -3+-7 which is the same as -3-7 Whenever you add a negative number you are actually taking more away, and this is why a negative plus a negative equals a negative - You start with a negative number, and are taking even more away, so you will only ever end up with a negative number.
