Question

What is the value of

A. –10
B. –6
C. 6
D. 10

Answer 1

10(4 - 7) / -(4 - 1)
= 10 * -3 / -(-3)
= -30 / 3
= -10 Answer

Answer 2

For the top: 10(4-7), distribute the 10 to both 4 and -7

10(4) = 40
10(-7) = -70

For the bottom, - is the same as - 1

Distribute -1 to both 4 and -1

-1(4) = -4
-1(-1) = 1

(40 - 70)/(-4 + 1)

Simplify. combine the terms.

40 - 70 = -30
-4 + 1 = -3

Divide:
-30/-3 = 10

D. 10 is your answer
