72 divide (4) divide (negative 6)

Answer 1

To solve this expression, we need to follow the order of operations, which is parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division (from left to right), and addition and subtraction (from left to right).

We start by solving inside the parentheses:
-(6) = -6

Now we need to divide the number outside the parentheses by -6:
72 ÷ 4 ÷ -6

We can rewrite this expression with the division sign to make it clearer:
72 ÷ 4 / -6

We now perform the divisions one by one, from left to right:
72 ÷ 4 = 18
18 ÷ -6 = -3

So, 72 ÷ 4 ÷ -6 = -3
