Question

Need help Use a transformation to solve the equation h/-6 = 1.2

A.
h = –7.2

B.
h = –0.2

C.
h = 0.2

D.
h = 7.2

Answer 1

A.
-7.2 divided by a negative 6 would equal a positive. A negative divided or multiplied by another negative equals a positive, at all times. If you calculate it right, C and D are both positives so they cannot be used since a postive ivided by a negative is a negative, B would come out with the solution of .333.. while A comes out with a perfect answer.
