Question

Y = -(-2)² -4 (-2) +12
Y=​

Answer 1

Y = -(-2)^2 -4 (-2) +12
Y = 16

Answer 2

Y=16

First you need to use PEMDAS which states that exponents will be first in this equation. So your new equation will look like y=-(4)-4(-2)+12. Now multiply in all places needed which will result in y=-4+8+12. Finally add them all up and you’ll get y=16
