-35:-7-55 2

I’m not sure exactly what the expression is. A couple of common interpretations:

• If “:” means division and the expression is -35 ÷ -7 - 55, then:

  • -35 ÷ -7 = 5
  • 5 - 55 = -50 So the result would be -50.

• If you intended something else (for example, -35 ÷ (-7 - 55), or (-35 ÷ -7) - 55 × 2, etc.), please clarify.

Also: what does the “2” on the next line represent? Is it a second problem, or the expected answer?

Could you confirm the exact expression (including where the 2 fits in) and whether ":" is division? I’ll solve it step by step.
