\text {Hello! Let's Solve this equation!}


\text {Since there is a negative in the problem this tells us that the answer we get will be a negative.}


\text {Here are some tips on dividing/multiplying equations like this.}


\text {Multiplying/Dividing a Positive to a Positive will equal a Positive}\\\text {Multiplying/Dividing a Positive to a Negative will equal a Negative}\\\text {Multiply/Dividing a Negative to a Negative will equal a Positive}\\\text {Multiplying/Dividing a Negative to a Positive will equal a Negative}


\text {Now Divide!}


\text {12/-4=}


\fbox {-3}


\text {As you can see 4 is a negative number so our result came out as a negative number.}


\text {Want to see if your answer is correct? Sure! Do the opposite of Dividing and Multiply!}


\text {-3*-4=12}


\text {Best of Luck!}
