Solve 4/4-8=12/4-8-32/16-32

$$\frac { 4 } { 4 - 8 } = \frac { 12 } { 4 - 8 } - \frac { 32 } { 16 - 32 }$$

Verify

Solution Steps

Subtract 8 from 4 to get -4.

$$\frac{4}{-4}=\frac{12}{4-8}-\frac{32}{16-32}$$

Divide 4 by -4 to get -1.

$$-1=\frac{12}{4-8}-\frac{32}{16-32}$$

Subtract 8 from 4 to get -4.

$$-1=\frac{12}{-4}-\frac{32}{16-32}$$

Divide 12 by -4 to get -3.

$$-1=-3-\frac{32}{16-32}$$

Subtract 32 from 16 to get -16.

$$-1=-3-\frac{32}{-16}$$

Divide 32 by -16 to get -2.

$$-1=-3-\left(-2\right)$$

The opposite of -2 is 2.

$$-1=-3+2$$

Add -3 and 2 to get -1.

$$-1=-1$$

Compare -1 and -1.
