advice

when you're multiplying 2 numbers with a exponent do u multiply the 2 numbers and then square that or square only the number the exponent is over and then multiply by the other number. -2(-1) with a 2 over the -1

thanx

and dont tell me to look in my text book bcuz im in algebra 1 and this is pre-algebra.. i just dont remember.

you've probably heard this, but to jog your memory:

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally

Parantheses Exponents Multiplication and Division Addition and Subtraction.

Thus in the case of -2(-1) where -1 has a power of two, -1 squared would be worked first because it is within the parentheses. Then it would be multiplied by -2.
