negative two because you cannot have a smaller number in front of a larger number. If you do have a smaller number in front of a larger one the answer will always be negative, Thus the answer 12 - 14 is -2 ( negative two)
12a) -4(3) + 3(2) so multiply the negative 4 and 3 which would equal -12 then multiply 3 and 2 which would equal 6. -12 + 6 = -6 12b) 3 squared which is 3 x 3 = 9 - y and y = 2 so it would be 7 divided by 4 x 3 which is 12 so its 7 divided by 12 which would be about 0.5833
