Question

$$|144|/(-12)/(-4)-6$$

Evaluate

$-3$

Solution Steps

Express $\frac{\frac{|144|}{-12}}{-4}$ as a single fraction.

$$\frac{|144|}{-12\left(-4\right)}-6$$

The absolute value of a real number $a$ is $a$ when $a\geq 0$, or $-a$ when $a<0$. The absolute value of $144$ is $144$.

$$\frac{144}{-12\left(-4\right)}-6$$

Multiply $-12$ and $-4$ to get $48$.

$$\frac{144}{48}-6$$

Divide $144$ by $48$ to get $3$.

$$3-6$$

Subtract $6$ from $3$ to get $-3$.

$$-3$$

Factor

$-3$
