Question

simplify:
3(-13)/[5(-3)-7(-2)]

Answer 1

the little slash is to represent a division sign

Answer 2

Well we want to do this step by step. First lets solve \(3(-13)\). This is \(-39\)

Answer 3

Now lets do \(5(-3)\). This is \(-15\)

Answer 4

Now, \(7(-2)\). This is \(-14\)

Answer 5

So when we put this together, our equation should become \(-39/-15-(-14)\)

Answer 6

Now lets do \(-15-(-14)\). This is \(-1\)

Answer 7

\[\frac{ 3(-13) }{ 5(-3)-7(-2) }\]
\[\frac{ -39 }{ -15+14 }\]\[\frac{ -39 }{ -1 }\] therefore answer is 39

Answer 8

So our equation becomes \(-39/-1\)

Answer 9

So our answer is \(39\).
