So i am given this problem.
00:02
Remember that you're going to do grouping symbols first, and you have two sets that you need to do first.
00:11
So i'm not going to do anything to my first part, so i'm just going to copy it.
00:16
And in this case, this first parenthesis is a subtraction problem.
00:20
So i'm going to go ahead and write it as an addition.
00:22
So minus 8 is the same thing as adding negative 8.
00:27
And i keep my minus here.
00:29
And then this becomes negative 6 plus 2.
00:34
Now that i did an addition problem, i made them into additions.
00:39
This part, i'm not going to do anything yet.
00:42
So in here i notice this is negative and that is negative.
00:45
So i am adding them together and my answer is going to stay negative.
00:51
So it's going to be negative 13.
00:53
And then this is going to be negative.
00:56
And then notice in here that i have a negative and a positive.
00:59
So i am going to subtract.
01:02
It's going to be four.
01:03
And then i need to see which number is farther away from zero.
01:08
Negative six is six points away.
01:11
Positive two is only two steps away...
