Please help me I’m in 9th grade math show your work I just need help with number 2

26

Step-by-step explanation:

normally this should be way below your math abilities in 9th grade.

but here as a reminder :

dot operations (like multiplication and division) happen before any dash operations (addition, subtraction).

so when we go through here we see therefore

-32/8 and 5×-2 have to be calculated first (I use × instead of ., because a fit can be so easily missed or misunderstood).

and then : mind the "-" signs to actually sign all terms for the final sum.

so, -32/8 = -4

5×-2 = -10

now we have

40 - 4 - 10 = 26
