Question

Using the tools (formulas ) above (-1-2)/(-4--5)

Answer 1

The operation (-1-2)/(-4--5) simplifies to -3 by first calculating the subtraction in the numerator and denominator separately, then dividing the simplified terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to perform the operation (-1-2)/(-4--5).

To solve this problem, we start by simplifying the numerator and the denominator separately. In the numerator, we have subtraction:

• -1 - 2 = (-1) + (-2) = -3, based on the rule that when two negative numbers are added, the answer has a negative sign.

In the denominator, we have subtraction as well, but with similar but opposite-sign numbers:

• -4 - (-5) = -4 + 5 = 1, because subtracting a negative is the same as adding the positive equivalent.

Now we divide the simplified numerator by the denominator:

• -3 / 1 = -3

Therefore, the answer to the operation is -3.
