Question

$$12 \div [(9-7) \times (5-8)]$$

Evaluate

$-2$

Solution Steps

Subtract $7$ from $9$ to get $2$.

$$\frac{12}{2\left(5-8\right)}$$

Subtract $8$ from $5$ to get $-3$.

$$\frac{12}{2\left(-3\right)}$$

Multiply $2$ and $-3$ to get $-6$.

$$\frac{12}{-6}$$

Divide $12$ by $-6$ to get $-2$.

$$-2$$

Factor

$-2$
