I know this is a stupid question but what makes this negitive or postive? I know the answer is 10 over 3.

3(-2) -4
-------------
(-2 -1)(-1)

[Ida_Mann]

oh man, it's been a while.

is it something like a negative multiplied by a negative makes a positive?

I don't know if I remember that right, but if I do that would make the answer

-10
-------
  3

which doesn't make sense to me,,,,it's been a long time since high school.

ida i've got the same answer as you do.  and you have the right rational.

3*(-2)= -6;  -6-4= -10

-2-1= -3; -3*-1= 3

answer -10/3

had the three been negative it would have had a positive answer for the reason ida stated above.  hope this helps.

Ok it's been awhile but if I remember correcty, you first start with the actions in parenthasis(sp?). So 3 x -2 = -6. -6-4 = -10. You sure it should be a positive 10? The bottom is right [-2 - 1= -3. -3 x -1 = 3. I come up with -10/3. -Mark

Thats an easy one.

Just go to the back of the book and the answer will be there.

If top and bottom are the same it is positive. If one is positive and one is negative it is negative.

i got one
16/3 by the 5th power to the 4th dimension + -8=_______
solve this one.

the answer is simple.             -10
                                             _____
                                                 3

i know this because i have algebra 1 in the eighth grade    . it is just like my old homework in the seventh grade(pre algebra*for those who arent good with math*)   
heres my work:::   
3(-2)-4
______
(-2-1)(-1)


3 times -2 is -6 minus four is negative 10

negative 2 minus 1 is negative 3 times negative 1 is positive 3

so the answer is     -10
                              --------
                                 3

awww thanks!!

[LakeMaryKid]

ahhh its negative because the numerator is negative, therefore the whole answer becomes negative.
