Since there are two negatives, double negative is equal to positive so 4-(-6) = 4+ 6 = 10. Next it's 10/-5, the easiest way to do that is to divide 10 by 5 and then put the sign in. 10/5 = 2 and negative divided by positive is always negative so... 10/-5 = -2.

4--(--6) / (--5) = (4 + 6) / (--5) = 10 / (--5) = --2

Hi,
Numerator: 4-(-6)=4+6=10
Denomenator: -5
10/-5=-2
All the best,
Mika

that is 4 plus 6 because there is a negative outside of the parenthesis so that makes it a positive so that would be 10 divided by -5 wich is - 2 because a negative devided by positive is always a negative

since it is minus a negative number(- -6) you change both of those to a plus sign because it is the same as 4+ positive 6. = 10

REALLY simple...
1. Subtract the numerator -> 4 - ( - 6 )= 10
2. then you get
10
------ = - 2.
- 5
