The "answer" ... usually called the "solution" ... is the number that 'c' must be
in order to make the equation a true statement.
Here's one way to find the solution:
(-4/3)c = -8
Multiply each side by -3 :
4c = 24
Divide each side by 4:
c = 6
negative two thirds
negative two-thirds
-42 / 7/3 = -18 To divide by a fraction, you multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction. the reciprocal of seven thirds is three sevenths. Negative 42 times three sevenths equals negative 18.
positive times negative equals negative. positive times positive equals positive. negative times negative equals positive
It is eight thirds.
well first of all if I gave you the answer it would be cheating. but I will show you a better way to do the problem. seven plus two thirds is easy. It is seven and two thirds. now times that by negative one . remember your integer rules. Positive times a positive is equal to positive. negative times positive is negative is but a negative times a negative is a positive. b so seven and two thirds times negative one is negative seven and one thirds. I hope that I could have been of some assistance to your problem. Remember to work the problem one step at a time. If you look at the whole problem you will get confused. look at segments than put it all together. good luck.
A negative times a negative equals a positive A negative times a positive equals a negative A positive times a positive equals a positive
-4/3
If you are asking one-eighth plus two-thirds then the answer is 14/16 which reduces to 7/8. Find the least common denominator (16) If you are asking one over one-eith plus two-thirds then the answer is 8 and two-thirds. This is because one over one-eighth means one divided by one eighth. You would invert the denominator (one-eighth) and multiply it to one. Eight over one is the same as eight. One times eight equals eight. Then add eight to two-thirds. This equals eight and two thirds (8 2/3).
A negative times a negative equals a positive
It is a negative. Always remember this: -A positive times a positive equals a negative -A negative times a negative equals a positive -A negative times a positive equals a negative *This works ONLY for addition and multiplication I hope this info helped you! :)
