Question

True or false for each equation ​

Answer 1

1. True, 2. False

Explanation:

In the 1st one, it times -1 on both, which is still the same, = 4/2

And 4 divide by 2 is equal 2. So 1st one is True.

And the 2nd one, it times -1 on the bottom side of it, which is still the same. BUT 4 divide by -2 is -2 instead of 2. So the 2nd one is False.

Answer 2

1 - true ; 2 - false.

Explanation:

The first equation is true as, if 4/2 is transcribed as -4/-2, the negatives would proceed to cancel out and provide the positive answer of 2.

The second equation is incorrect as the answer of positive 2 does not align with the negative numbers. Since it is 4/-2 instead of -4/-2, the negatives do not cancel out and it remains negative.
