Question

How do I get the answer to this? -42——- =-3

Answer 1

We have to solve the expression -42/(-3).

We can start by cancelling the negative signs:

`(-42)/(-3)=(42)/(3)`

We also know that 3 is a factor of 42: we can see that 14 times 3 is equal to 42, so 42/3 = 14:

`(-42)/(-3)=(42)/(3)=14`

Answer: 14
