Answer:

7.5

Explanation:

To solve this expression, we can use PEMDAS or order of operations.

Parenthesis

Exponents

Multiplication>Division (Depends on which comes first from left to right)

Addition>Subtraction (See Multiplication>Division)

So First, lets solve the Parenthesis. -2/5=-.4

So now, our equation is -3/-.4

There is no exponents or multiplication, so lets just Divide.

-3/-.4=7.5

The solution is 7.5

Hope this helps!
