Solve -1^2-3(-1)/-1-2

$$\frac{ { -1 }^{ 2 } -3(-1) }{ -1-2 }$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{4}{3}\approx -1.333333333$$

Solution Steps

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

$$\frac{1-3\left(-1\right)}{-1-2}$$

Multiply 3 and -1 to get -3.

$$\frac{1-\left(-3\right)}{-1-2}$$

The opposite of -3 is 3.

$$\frac{1+3}{-1-2}$$

Add 1 and 3 to get 4.

$$\frac{4}{-1-2}$$

Subtract 2 from -1 to get -3.

$$\frac{4}{-3}$$

Fraction \frac{4}{-3} can be rewritten as -\frac{4}{3} by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{4}{3}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{4}{3} = -1\frac{1}{3} = -1.3333333333333333$$
