Question

Is is true when one part of a fraction is negative the whole fraction becomes negative

Answer 1

\[60/-12 = 5? or -5 \]

Answer 2

\[\frac {-a}b=\frac{a}{-b}=-\frac ab\]

Answer 3

This is from the equation
−3(4r − 8) = −36
I am getting -5 but the real answer is 5 ?

Answer 4

\[−3(4r − 8) = −36 \]
\[4r − 8 = \frac{−36}{-3} \]

Answer 5

\[\frac {-a}{-b}=\frac{a}{b}\]

Answer 6

Rather than that step...

Answer 7

Cant I distrubute the -3 and get
-12r+24=-36

Answer 8

that way will work too

Answer 9

So how Do I get 5 rather than -5

Answer 10

using the distributive method
the next step would be to get the constants of one side

Answer 11

yea I have ...

Answer 12

-12r = 60

Answer 13

and then ...

Answer 14

r = 60/-12
r= -5?

Answer 16

-60?

Answer 17

yea yout correct

Answer 18
