Question

Which of the following numbers have a value equal to -5

Answer 1

We must find which of the following numbers has a value equal to -5:

$\frac{-5}{1},\frac{5}{1},\frac{10}{-2},\frac{-5}{-1},-\frac{5}{1},-\frac{-5}{1},-\frac{-5}{-1},-\frac{-10}{2}.$

To answer this question, we simplify each number:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{-5}{1}=-5 \\ \frac{5}{1}=5 \\ \frac{10}{-2}=\frac{5\cdot2}{-2}=\frac{5}{-1}=-5 \\ -\frac{5}{1}=-5 \\ -\frac{-5}{1}=-(-5)=5 \\ -\frac{-5}{-1}=-\frac{5}{1}=-5 \\ -\frac{-10}{2}=-\frac{-5\cdot2}{2}=-(-5)=5 \end{gathered}$

Answer

The numbers that are equal to -5 are:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{-5}{1} \\ \frac{10}{-2} \\ -\frac{5}{1} \\ -\frac{-5}{-1} \end{gathered}$
