54/-2 = -27

First, let's rewrite:

Let x represent the unknown number:


(54)/(x)=\text{ -27}


\begin{gathered} (54)/(x)\text{ = -27} \\ 54\text{ = -27x} \\ \text{Divide both sides by -27} \\ (54)/(-27)=\text{ }(-27x)/(-27) \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} 27*2\text{ = 54} \\ x\text{ = -2 (because we are dividing positive number by a negative number)} \\ So\text{ our answer will be negative} \end{gathered}

Hence, 54/-2 = -27
