What is $\frac{-36}{-9}$ ?

Possible Answers:

-(+4)

Correct answer:

Explanation:

A negative number divided by a negative number always results in a positive number. divided by equals . Since the answer is positive, the answer cannot be or any other negative number.

Example Question #1 : How To Divide Negative Numbers

Solve for :

16-4x=x+6

Possible Answers:

$-\frac{1}{2}$

$-\frac{18}{5}$

$\frac{1}{2}$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Begin by isolating your variable.

Subtract from both sides:

16-4x-x=6 , or 16-5x=6

Next, subtract from both sides:

-5x=6-16 , or -5x=-10

Then, divide both sides by :

$x=\frac{-10}{-5}$

Recall that division of a negative by a negative gives you a positive, therefore:

$x=\frac{10}{5}$ or x=2

Example Question #1 : Negative Numbers

Solve the following equation:

$\frac{-288}{-16} =$

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The rule for dividing negative numbers is the same as for multiplying negative numbers.

If both numbers are negative, you will get a positive answer.

If either number is positive, and the other is negative, you will get a negative answer.

Therefore:

$\frac{-288}{-16} = 18$

Example Question #1 : Negative Numbers

Choose the answer which best solves the following equation:

$-\frac{396}{x} = 12$

Possible Answers:

x = -23

x = 28

x=-33

x = 23

x = 33

Correct answer:

x=-33

Explanation:

To solve, first put the equation in terms of :

$-\frac{396}{x} = 12$

First multiply the x to both sides.

12x = -396

Now divide by 12 to solve for x.

$x = -\frac{396}{12}$

Here, because one of the numbers in the equation is positive, and the other is negative, the answer must be a negative number:

x = -33

Example Question #11 : Negative Numbers

Add: $-10+ \left ( -11\right ) +4$

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Simply the signs before solving. A positive sign multiplied with a negative sign will convert the sign to a negative, and a negative multiplied with a negative will convert the sign to a positive.

$-10+ \left ( -11\right ) +4=-10-11+4 = -17$

Example Question #1 : How To Graph An Equation With A Number Line

How many integers are there between and (not including or )?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Since we are not including or in the count, the number of integers is given by the equation:

-2-(-17)-1=-2+17-1=14

If negative numbers are difficult for you to understand you can think of it this way. Since both values are negative and we are looking for the amount of integers between them we can solve the problem by subtracting 2 from 17 and then another one since we don't want to include the endpoints.

-2-(-17)-1=17-2-1=15-1=14

Example Question #1 : How To Graph An Inequality With A Number Line

On a real number line, x₁ = -4 and x₂ = 14. What is the distance between these two points?

Possible Answers:

-18

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The distance between two points is always positive. We calculate lx₂ - x₁l, which will give us the distance between the points.

|14- (-4)| = |14+4| = |18| = 18
