-3 - 12

2 - (-3)
As a fraction

3 answers

Let's solve each expression step by step.

  1. For the first expression: \(-3 - 12\)

    \[ -3 - 12 = -15 \]

  2. For the second expression: \(2 - (-3)\)

    This is equivalent to \(2 + 3\):

    \[ 2 + 3 = 5 \]

Now, if you want to express these results as fractions:

  1. \(-15\) can be written as \(-\frac{15}{1}\).
  2. \(5\) can be written as \(\frac{5}{1}\).

So, the expressions as fractions are:

  • First expression: \(-\frac{15}{1}\)
  • Second expression: \(\frac{5}{1}\)
What's the fraction -3 - 12 / 2 - (-3)

To solve the expression \(-3 - \frac{12}{2} - (-3)\), we need to follow the order of operations.

  1. Calculate the division: \(\frac{12}{2} = 6\)

    Now, the expression simplifies to: \(-3 - 6 - (-3)\)

  2. Simplify the expression:

    • First, evaluate the subtraction of the negative: \(-(-3) = +3\)

    Now, the expression becomes: \(-3 - 6 + 3\)

  3. Perform the operations from left to right:

    • First, calculate \(-3 - 6\): \(-3 - 6 = -9\)

    • Then, add \(3\): \(-9 + 3 = -6\)

Thus, the final result is \(-6\).

If you want to express this result as a fraction, \(-6\) can be written as: \[ -\frac{6}{1} \]

So the final answer is \(-\frac{6}{1}\).
