Solve (-6)+5*(-7)-(-42)div(-9)

$$( - 6 ) + 5 \times ( - 7 ) - ( - 42 ) \div ( - 9 )$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{137}{3}\approx -45.666666667$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 5 and -7 to get -35.

$$-6-35-\frac{-42}{-9}$$

Subtract 35 from -6 to get -41.

$$-41-\frac{-42}{-9}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-42}{-9} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -3.

$$-41-\frac{14}{3}$$

Convert -41 to fraction -\frac{123}{3}.

$$-\frac{123}{3}-\frac{14}{3}$$

Since -\frac{123}{3} and \frac{14}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-123-14}{3}$$

Subtract 14 from -123 to get -137.

$$-\frac{137}{3}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{137}{3} = -45\frac{2}{3} = -45.666666666666664$$
