Answer:

-9

Explanation:

Simplify the following:

-6×(-2)/4 (-3)

-6×(-2)/4 (-3) = (-6 (-2) (-3))/4:

(-6 (-2) (-3))/4

The gcd of -2 and 4 is 2, so (-6 (-2) (-3))/4 = (-6 (2 (-1)) (-3))/(2×2) = 2/2×(-6 (-1) (-3))/2 = (-6 (-1) (-3))/2:

(-6-1 (-3))/2

(-6)/2 = (2 (-3))/2 = -3:

--3 (-3)

-3 (-1) = 3:

3 (-3)

3 (-3) = -9:

Answer: -9
