Question

Simplify completely quantity 6 x minus 12 over 10

Answer 1

In Math, we do multiplication and division from left to right, so the problem will be set up like this.
$\frac{6\left(-12\right)}{10}$
First, let's remove the parenthesis...
$=\frac{-6\cdot \:12}{10}$
Multiply the numerators...
$=\frac{-72}{10}$
There's a fraction rule that states: $\frac{-a}{b}=-\frac{a}{b}$
Apply it...
$=-\frac{72}{10}$
Cancel the common factor, which is 2.
$=-\frac{36}{5}$
Done!

Have a nice day! :)
