  1. 75 / -15 = -5

    Positive / negative or negative / positive = negative. Negative / negative or positive / positive = positive.

    -323 / -17 = 19 (see rules above)


  2. they would be negative because they are odd numbers.

    for example -3 would be negative because -3 X -3 = +9. then +9 X -3 =27


  3. sorry i don't have the steps i just used a calculator

    75 divided by (-15) = (-5)

    -323 divided by (-17) =19

  4. The law of signs states that like signs in multiplication and division results in positive answers/  Unlike signs results in negative answers.

    So:  +75 / -15 = -5  (Unlike signs result in a negative answer)

    When you multiply it out:  -5 * -15 = +75

    And:  -323 / -17 = 19  (Like signs result in a positive answer)

    When you multiply it out:  +19 * -17 = -323

  5. The line in a fraction means "divided by" so

    75 divided by (-15) = 75/-15 = -5

    Negative because the rule for multipication and division states if the signs are different the answer is negative.

    And conversley if the signs are the same +/+ or -/- the answer for multiplication or division is positve.

    so for your second problem -323/-17 = +19

    fini...
