Solve 24xdiv(-14x)

$$24x \div (-14x)$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{12}{7}\approx -1.714285714$$

Steps for Quotient of Exponentials

Use the rules of exponents to simplify the expression.

$$\frac{24^{1}x^{1}}{\left(-14\right)^{1}x^{1}}$$

To divide powers of the same base, subtract the denominator's exponent from the numerator's exponent.

$$\frac{24^{1}x^{1-1}}{\left(-14\right)^{1}}$$

Subtract 1 from 1.

$$\frac{24^{1}x^{0}}{\left(-14\right)^{1}}$$

For any number a except 0, a^{0}=1.

$$\frac{24^{1}}{\left(-14\right)^{1}}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{24}{-14} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$-\frac{12}{7}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{12}{7} = -1\frac{5}{7} = -1.7142857142857142$$
