I know this is a stupid question but what makes this negitive or postive? I know the answer is 10 over 3.
3(-2) -4
-------------
(-2 -1)(-1)

oh man, it's been a while.
is it something like a negative multiplied by a negative makes a positive?
I don't know if I remember that right, but if I do that would make the answer
-10
-------
3
which doesn't make sense to me,,,,it's been a long time since high school.

ida i've got the same answer as you do. and you have the right rational.
3*(-2)= -6; -6-4= -10
-2-1= -3; -3*-1= 3
answer -10/3
had the three been negative it would have had a positive answer for the reason ida stated above. hope this helps.

Ok it's been awhile but if I remember correcty, you first start with the actions in parenthasis(sp?). So 3 x -2 = -6. -6-4 = -10. You sure it should be a positive 10? The bottom is right [-2 - 1= -3. -3 x -1 = 3. I come up with -10/3. -Mark |

If top and bottom are the same it is positive. If one is positive and one is negative it is negative. |

the answer is simple. -10 _____ 3 i know this because i have algebra 1 in the eighth grade  . it is just like my old homework in the seventh grade(pre algebra*for those who arent good with math*) heres my work::: 3(-2)-4 ______ (-2-1)(-1) 3 times -2 is -6 minus four is negative 10 negative 2 minus 1 is negative 3 times negative 1 is positive 3 so the answer is -10 -------- 3 ~courtney~ |

ahhh its negative because the numerator is negative, therefore the whole answer becomes negative.
