Answer:

A:2

B:-5

C:8

D:-147

Explanation:

A: For this one, you can cancel out the negatives. Then just divide 14 by 7. Your final answer is 2. Final Answer : 2

B: This one you can forget about the negative for the first bit. Just divide 15 by 3 to get 5. Now the negative is only on one side of the equation so therefore we add the negative back into our answer. Final Answer : -5

C: Just divide 32 by 4 to get 8. No removal or substitution is needed for this one because both numbers are positive. Final Answer : 8

D: Multiply both numbers normally forgetting about the negative at first. 49 * 3 is 147. Now one of our numbers contain a negative so we plug back the negative into our answer. Final Answer : -147
