Check this problem for me do I have negative sign right with the answer.
-1(-1)+-5-5=-2/-10==-1/5
the one on top and the -1(-1) and on the bottom is -5-5.
so check this answer for me. Please, Please
To check if the answer is correct, we will simplify the expression step by step:
Starting expression: -1(-1) + (-5) - 5
Step 1: First, let’s simplify -1(-1) by multiplying -1 and -1. This gives us:
-1(-1) = 1
Now our expression becomes: 1 + (-5) - 5
Step 2: Next, let’s simplify the addition of -5 and -5:
(-5) + (-5) = -10
Our expression now becomes: 1 - 10
Step 3: Finally, let’s subtract 10 from 1:
1 - 10 = -9
So, the simplified expression is -9.
Now let's check if -2/-10 is equal to -1/5:
To do this, we simplify -2/-10 by dividing both the numerator (-2) and the denominator (-10) by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
-2 ÷ 2 = -1
-10 ÷ 2 = -5
So, -2/-10 simplifies to -1/5.
Comparing our simplified expression (-9) to -1/5, we can see that they are not equal. Therefore, the answer -1/5 is incorrect. The correct answer for the expression -1(-1) + (-5) - 5 is -9.
