Answer:
no we can't
Step-by-step explanation:
(-4)÷(-2). (-16÷(-2)
2. 8
[tex]\longrightarrow{\blue{[( - 16)\div 4) \div ( - 2)] \:is\:not\:equal\:to\:( - 16) \div [4 \div( - 2) ] }}[/tex]

[tex][( - 16 )\div 4) \div ( - 2)] = ( - 16) \div [4 \div( - 2) ][/tex]
Let us first solve for L. H. S.
[tex] = [( - 16 )\div 4) \div ( - 2)][/tex]
[tex] = [ (\frac{ - 16}{4} )\div ( - 2)][/tex]
[tex] = \frac{( - 4)}{( - 2)} [/tex]
[tex] = 2[/tex]
Now, R. H S.
[tex]( - 16) \div [4 \div ( - 2)][/tex]
[tex] = \frac{ - 16}{ - 2} [/tex]
[tex] = 8[/tex]
[tex]\sf\purple{L. H. S.\: ≠ \:R. H. S. }[/tex]
Hence, [tex][( - 16) \div 4) \div( - 2)] ≠(-16)\div [4 \div( - 2) ][/tex]
