True. What's with the simple questions?

lol. That was so me when I was young. If you need an explanation here goes. First step is to simplify the bottom. So 8x5=40. So now you have -40/40. Remember anything divided by itself is 1. So 40/40=1. But we're not done yet, now we bring that negative and add it to the answer and we get -1.
