Answer: 12
Step 1: Ignore the signs, just simplify the fraction.Step 2: Count the number of negative (minus) signs. If there is one, then the answer is negative, otherwise it is positive.Step 2 can also be stated thus:-/- or +/+ = plus-/+ or +/- = minusSo, -12/412/4 = 3 and there is only 1 negative sign so the answer is negative.Answer: -3.Hope that explains it.
Perform the indicated subtraction. 12 - 9 = 3
8+(-12)+(-3) simplifies to 8-12-3 which simplifies to 8-15 which simplifies to -7.

Just ignore the negative sign, but carry it along as you simplify . Examples: -12/8 = -3/2 = -1.5 -100/6 = -50/3 = -16 2/3
Negative 12 minus 3 plus 9 is equal to -6
-3 + 15 = 12
4 x (-3) = (-12)-12 +9 = (-3)so the answer is -3
-9
-12
