Answer:

first equation: Incorrect

second equation: Correct

Explanation:

first equation:


-1 + ((1)/(-1)) = 1


-1 + (-1) = 1


-2 = 1

negative 2 isn't the same as positive 1 which isn't true so the answer is incorrect.

second equation:


((-1)/(1) ) = -1


(-1) = -1

negative 1 is the same as negative 1 so the answer is correct
