2 × | 12 | - | -7 | = 17
| -108 | ÷ | 36 | + | 17 | = 20
| -5 | × | 12 | - | 5 | × | -12 | = 0
Explanation:
(a negative number will become positive if it's in these brackets: |-12|= 12)
2 × | 12 | - | -7 | =
2 × 12 - 7 = (-7 becomes positive seven, +7)
24 - 7 = 17
| -108 | ÷ | 36 | + | 17 | =
108 ÷ 36 + 17 = (-108 becomes positive one hundred and eight, +108)
3 + 17 = 20
| -5 | × | 12 | - | 5 | × | -12 | =
5 × 12 - 5 × 12 = (-5 and -12 become positive five and twelve, +5 and +12)
60 - 60 = 0
