Evaluate the expression. −8 ⋅ 9 ÷ [−8−(−4)] (1 point) Responses 6 6 -6 -6 -18 -18 18

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \(-8 \cdot 9 \div [-8 - (-4)]\), let's break it down step by step.

1. Evaluate the parenthesis: \[-8 - (-4) = -8 + 4 = -4\]

2. Now substitute this back into the expression: \[-8 \cdot 9 \div -4\]

3. Perform the multiplication first: \[-8 \cdot 9 = -72\]

4. Now divide by -4: \[-72 \div -4 = 18\]

Thus, the result of the expression is \(18\).

The final answer is \(18\).
