OpenStudy (aye_my_peeps):

@phi

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

\[\frac{ -2-4 }{ 12/-4 }\] You found the denominator so we can replace it. \[\frac{ -2-4 }{ -3 }\] What's next?

OpenStudy (aye_my_peeps):

the top??

OpenStudy (phi):

yes do -2 -4

OpenStudy (aye_my_peeps):

-6

OpenStudy (aye_my_peeps):

@phi

OpenStudy (aye_my_peeps):

is ir -2

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, so you have -6 / -3 first, notice it is negative divided by negative, so the answer is positive

OpenStudy (aye_my_peeps):

2

OpenStudy (phi):

when multiplying or dividing , 2 negatives make a positive (one of those mysteries of the universe)

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, you get 6/3 = 2

OpenStudy (aye_my_peeps):

thnx :)
