Explanation:

To do Order of Operations, we need to go with the order of the formula, PEMDAS.

P= Parenthesis

E= Exponents

M= Multiply (Whatever Comes First in Equation: M and D)

D= Divide

A= Addition (Whatever Comes First in Equation: A and S)

S= Subtraction

---------------------------------------------

So, we need to start with parenthesis, there aren't any, so we move on to Exponents.

There are no Exponents either, so we start with division, then multiplication.

(We always have to go left to right).

So,

-9 - 6 + 8 / -4 x -2

-9 - 6 + -2 x -2

-9 - 6 + 4

Our problem is:

-9 - 6 + 4

We do subtraction, then addition. (Left to Right)

-9 - 6 + 4

-15 + 4

-11.

Therefore, the answer is -11.
