Question

Simplify the expression.
(-9)(-8)
/(-2)

Answer 1

-36

Explanation:

(-9)*(-8) = + 72 1. As we know, a negative * a negative, will equal a positive. So obviously, -9 * -8 equals 72,

72/-2 = -36

2. Because a negative divided by a positive will always be a negative, 72/-2 will be -36 by just dividing the two.

Answer 2

-36

Explanation:

Multiply your numerator together, which will give you 72. 72/-2 = -36.
