-l20l÷l-4l

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a negative divided by a negative is a positive so 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this goes for multiplication to negative times a negative is a positive and then a negative times a positive is a negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did that make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not really, how did you get the 5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait is this absolute value equations?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-20 : 4 = -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes then it would be -5 because numbers inside absolute value products are always positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so -20 divide by 4 is -5 understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhhh, yes I see now...thanks guys :)
