Solve 9-3(-4)/6-4(-3)

$$\frac { 9 - 3 ( - 4 ) } { 6 - 4 ( - 3 ) }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{7}{6}\approx 1.166666667$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 3 and -4 to get -12.

$$\frac{9-\left(-12\right)}{6-4\left(-3\right)}$$

The opposite of -12 is 12.

$$\frac{9+12}{6-4\left(-3\right)}$$

Add 9 and 12 to get 21.

$$\frac{21}{6-4\left(-3\right)}$$

Multiply 4 and -3 to get -12.

$$\frac{21}{6-\left(-12\right)}$$

The opposite of -12 is 12.

$$\frac{21}{6+12}$$

Add 6 and 12 to get 18.

$$\frac{21}{18}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{21}{18} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$\frac{7}{6}$$

Factor

$$\frac{7}{2 \cdot 3} = 1\frac{1}{6} = 1.1666666666666667$$
