There's a problem here, look at your signs.

anonymous · Answer

What happens when you divide a negative by a negative?

anonymous · Answer

you get a negative

anonymous · Answer

No you get a positive, it's like multiplication when you multiply 2 negatives you get a positive.

- x - = +
-/- = +

Also, you can check your answer

-2c=-18

-2(-9)=-18 ... replace c with -9 (since you claim c = -9)

18 = -18 .. as iambatman is saying, negative times negative = positive


The equation is false. So c = -9 is not the solution to -2c=-18

Ok I got C. c=9 as my answer

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

much better, let's check that


-2c=-18

-2*(9)=-18 ... plug in c = 9

-18 = -18 ... it works now
