So, what I got was actually -9/-3

6. Liv1234

Do you want me to show you how I got it?

7. Liv1234

$-4*2-1=-9 1+2=3$

8. Liv1234

That is supposed to say -9 and 1+2

9. Liv1234

@ganeshie8 is that correct? or did I miss a step?

First, start out by plugging in what H equals.. $\frac{ -(4*2-1) }{ 1+2 }$ Then evalute "1+2" giving you.. $\frac{ -(4*2-1) }{ 3 }$ Then multiply "-4*2".. $\frac{ (-8-1) }{ 3 }$ Subtract -8-1... This gives you the final answer of.. $- \frac{ 7 }{ 3 }$

11. Liv1234

I must have missed a step. Sometimes I forget to do PEMDAS

12. Liv1234

But -8-1 is -9..

13. Liv1234

Can someone help me? How can it be -7/3 if -8-1 is -9?

Sorry, I meant +1.. Not -1. But the final answer is indeed -7/3
