find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs measuring 6 cm and 9 cm. round your answer to the nearest tenth

I would say all you have to do is add those sides up then minus it with the total you’re trying to find

Just copying this over just in case others with similar questions turn this up in search results rather than the other, haha!
When you multiply or divide a negative by another negative, you get a positive. When it is a negative and a positive, it remains negative.
Assuming your question simplified into a equation (or number form? Been a while, haha!) is 32÷-2÷(-16÷4), it would end as a positive. Because you first divide the positive 32 by a negative 2, you get a negative. Because -16÷4 is in parenthesis, it is done because following the rest of the equation (P.E.M.D.A.S.!), it would be 32÷-2÷-4. Going from left to right, as you should, it results in a negative being divided by another negative, so you get a positive. 32÷-2÷(-16÷4) = 32÷-2÷-4 = -16÷-4 = 2!
