Question

Evaluate: (-9) - (-60) ÷ (-12) + (-3) x 7

• A. 35
• B. -53
• C. -35
• D. 25

Answer 1

Answer:

C. -35

Let’s solve step by step using BODMAS (Division and Multiplication first):

Expression:
$(-9) - (-60) \div (-12) + (-3) \times 7$
Step 1: Division

$(-60) \div (-12) = 5$
Step 2: Multiplication

$(-3) \times 7 = -21$

Now substitute:
$-9 - 5 + (-21)$

Step 3: Simplify

$-9 - 5 - 21$
$= -14 - 21$
= -35
