Math Problem Statement

[120 ÷ (-12)] + [24 × (-10)] = ...

Solution

The image contains a mathematical expression that requires solving:

120÷(12)+[24×(10)]=120 \div (-12) + [24 \times (-10)] = \dots

Let's solve this step by step:

  1. Division: 120÷(12)=10120 \div (-12) = -10

  2. Multiplication: 24×(10)=24024 \times (-10) = -240

  3. Addition: 10+(240)=250-10 + (-240) = -250

Thus, the result of the expression is:

250\boxed{-250}
