Why does my calculator say that 3-2(6-4) is -1?

Answer 1

Do parentheses first (6-4) = 2
Then do the multiplication 2 times 2 = 4
Finally do the subtraction 3 - 4 = -1

Your calculator is simply doing order of operations correctly

Answer 2

You calculator is RIGHT.

3 - 2(6 - 4)

= 3 - 2(2)

= 3 - 4

= -1

You may be thinking of the following.

(3 - 2) x (6 - 4)

= 1 x 2

= 2

Answer 3

3-2(6-4)=
3-2(2)=
3-2*2=
3-4=
-1

Answer 4

ORDER OF OPERATIONS

P E M D AS

Do the parentheses first: 6 - 4 = (2)

-2*(2) = -4
leaving:


3 -4 = -1 the answer is -1

Answer 5

It is correct. It follows the rules of Math and does the operation INSIDE the parenthesis FIRST.

3-2(6-4)=-1
3-2(2)=-1
3-4=-1

;-D The rules are
Rule 1: Simplify all operations inside parentheses.
Rule 2: Simplify all exponents, working from left to right.
Rule 3: Perform all multiplications and divisions, working from left to right.
Rule 4: Perform all additions and subtractions, working from left to right.

Answer 6

Because that's the correct answer

--- 3-2(6-4)
--- 3-2(2)
--- 3-4
--- (-1)

Answer 7

given
= 3 - 2(6 - 4)
do the parenthesis 6 - 4
= 3 - 2(2)
multiply 2 · 2
= 3 - 4
Do the operation
= -1

Answer 8

PEMDAS(parenthesis,exponent,Multiplication and Division,then Addition and Subtraction),simple start with P-parenthesis,solve (6-4) first. then move to the outside.

(6-4)=2
3-2=1
1-2=-1
-1

Answer 9

b/c the order in which the operation occurs is: a) the operation in paretheses (6-4) which equals 2. b) multiplication or division: -2(2) which equals -4 c) finally, 3+(-4) which equals -1

Answer 10

hi
it's in this manner
3-2(6-4)
3-(2*6)+(2*4)
3-12+8
11-12
-1
it's a very simple calculation
i think there is some mistake in the way u ask
