Homework for Monday, 1/9

Assignment:  Negative Order of Operations #1

*You are required to write out every step of these as it is critical for keeping track of your negatives!  Once you have completed a step in the equation, rewrite the numbers you have left on the next line.
*Remember - a) if you solve it as a multiplication or division problem, you follow the multiplication/division rule and THAT is the value of that integer and b) if you solve it as an addition/subtraction problem, keep track of your cowboys!
*Things that look like fractions are just division problems; solve the division just exactly as you would if it was written 30 divided by negative 5 (for example).
*If the ENTIRE problem is written with a fraction bar, solve the ENTIRE upper portion of the problem first then the ENTIRE bottom portion of the problem.  That will leave you with a simple division problem to end with.  Note that the fraction bar, in this case, works as a giant parentheses around each set of integers.
*There ARE practice problems on Quizlet for these (scroll down through the options).  If you want to make sure you are doing them correctly, go there first and practice for immediate feedback!
*This is the last great step in mastering your negatives, but it is BIG and it is IMPORTANT ... be careful and work hard to understand what you are doing.
