Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

✔️-72 ÷ (-2)

The division of two negative numbers will give us a positive number. i.e. - ÷ - = +

Therefore:

-72 ÷ (-2) = 36

✔️-72 ÷ 2

The division of a negative number and a positive number will give us a negative number. i.e. - ÷ + = -

Therefore:

-72 ÷ 2 = -36

✔️72 ÷ (-2)

The division of a positive number and a negative number will give us a negative number. i.e. + ÷ - = -

Therefore:

72 ÷ (-2) = -36
