Solve -5+4(-1)^2/6-9(-1)

$$\frac { - 5 + 4 ( - 1 ) ^ { 2 } } { 6 - 9 ( - 1 ) }$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{1}{15}\approx -0.066666667$$

Solution Steps

Calculate -1 to the power of 2 and get 1.

$$\frac{-5+4\times 1}{6-9\left(-1\right)}$$

Multiply 4 and 1 to get 4.

$$\frac{-5+4}{6-9\left(-1\right)}$$

Add -5 and 4 to get -1.

$$\frac{-1}{6-9\left(-1\right)}$$

Multiply 9 and -1 to get -9.

$$\frac{-1}{6-\left(-9\right)}$$

The opposite of -9 is 9.

$$\frac{-1}{6+9}$$

Add 6 and 9 to get 15.

$$\frac{-1}{15}$$

Fraction \frac{-1}{15} can be rewritten as -\frac{1}{15} by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{1}{15}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{1}{15} = -0.06666666666666667$$
