You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a = -2 b = 5 c = -4 d = 6
4b + 5d - c/a
4(5) + 5(6) - -4/-2
20 + 30 - 2
50 -2 = 48
first input the numbers into the equation
Then follow the rules of "pemdas" multiply and divide everything first from left to right.
Then add/subtract from left to right.
Does this make sense to you or did you need a more detailed naswer??
