–12 ÷ 6
–6 ÷ –3
6 ÷ –3
–6 ÷ 3

Answer 1

-12 / -6 = 2....nope
-12 / 6 = -2....yep
-6 / -3 = 2....nope
6 / -3 = -2....yep
-6 / 3 = -2...yep

Answer 2

`1) -12 / 6\\2) 6 / -3\\3) -6 / 3`

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

We are given some expressions and we have to find the expression whose quotient value is -2.

This can be done in the following manner:

`\displaystyle(-12)/(-6) = 2\\\\\displaystyle(-12)/(6) = -2\\\\\displaystyle(-6)/(-3) = 2\\\\\displaystyle(6)/(-3) = -2\\\\\displaystyle(-6)/(3) = -2`

Hence, the expressions that give -2 as quetiont are:

`1) -12 / 6\\2) 6 / -3\\3) -6 / 3`
