Question 327015: how do i work out this probram

-169/-13+(-8)(9)+|-12|

Since the numerator and denominator are both negative, remove the minus sign from each.

Reduce the expression by removing a factor of 13 from the numerator and denominator.
13+(-8)(9)+|-12|

Remove the factor of -1 from the single term inside the absolute value.
13+(-8)(9)+|12|

The absolute value of -12 is 12, so the absolute value symbols can be removed.
13+(-8)(9)+12

Multiply -8 by 9 to get -72.
13+(-72)+12

Subtract 72 from 13 to get -59.
-59+12

Add 12 to -59 to get -47.
-47
