Understand the problem

9((9)+(4))= 9-((-9)+(-4))=

2

Step-by-step solution

According to the order of operations, we first address the second parentheses:

Remember that a product of addition and subtraction results in a negative outcome, therefore:

+(4)=4 +(-4)=-4

The exercise obtained is:

9(94)= 9-(-9-4)=

Now we solve the exercise within parentheses:

(94)=13 (-9-4)=-13

The exercise obtained is:

9(13)= 9-(-13)=

Remember that a product of addition and addition results in a positive outcome, therefore:

(13)=+13 -(-13)=+13

9+13=22 9+13=22
