2. RULE: Parentheses with no mathematical symbol between implies multiplication

3. 1 2 Look to see if anything can cancel

4. RULE: Negative times a Negative = Positive

5. Multiply numerators Multiply denominators

6. Multiply numerators Multiply denominators

7. Multiply numerators Multiply denominators

8. Look to see if anything can be simplified?
