Answer 13

how can we determine a solution? what are your thoughts?

divide -$68.04 by 6?

Answer 15

yep

Answer 16

and what are your ideas for the second question asked?

Answer 17

well I think it's 5/9 because they are opposites

Answer 18

well, opposites are not equal to each other perse

we want to keep the same value, but make it look different. we can either add zero to it, or multiply it by 1

Answer 19

5/9 is never equal to -5/9 ... nor is it ever equal to 9/5 regardless of the sign

Answer 20

So multiply it by 1?

Answer 21

-5/9 * -1/-1 should give us an equivalent/equal statement

Answer 22

a convenient form of multiplying by 1
\[\frac{-1}{-1}=1\]

Answer 23

\[\frac{-5}{9}\frac{-1}{-1}=\frac{?}{?}\]

Answer 24
