Answer 1

Answer:

-2 + x

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2-x}{-1} = \frac{2}{-1} - \frac{x}{-1} = -2-(-x) = -2 + x$

Answer 2

Answer:

(the answer may be wrong, I'm not exactly sure what the numbers are. I will assume it is 2-8/-1 because that's what I think it looks most like)

6

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by simplifying according to the order of operations:

(order of operations(PEMDAS))

Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.

Since there is no Parenthesis, exponent, or multiplication, we should move on to division but we don't since this is 2-8/-1. We instead assume that the 2-8 is parenthesis making it come before division:

2-8=-6

Now we can divide(remember negative divided by negative equals positive, same with two positives, but a negative and a positive equal a negative):

-6/-1=6

please tell me if I have it wrong I just can't read that handwriting well.

Happy holidays!
