Answer 1

Answer: −85 ÷ 5 = -17

divide 85 by 5.

You will get 17 as quotient.

Since, there is a negative sign with 85, the quotient will also have the negative sign. So answer is -17.

If the question was -85 ÷ (-5),

then both the negative signs would have cancelled and answer would have been 17.

Here is you're answer:

In order to solve this equation you have to remember that a negative divided by a positive is a negative then just solve the equation.

• 
  `-85 / 5`
• 
  `-85 / 5 = -17`
• 
  `= -17`

Therefore you're answer is "-17."
