\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "8\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "first raise ONLY 2 to the 3rd power
\n" ); document.write( "2*2*2=8\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8-5(8)=
\n" ); document.write( "8-40= -32\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so you have:
\n" ); document.write( "-32
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "-8
\n" ); document.write( "divide -32 by -8
\n" ); document.write( "remember when you multiply two negitives you get a positive
