Answer:
-1 1/16 if mixed number. If you want decimal form: -1.0625
Step-by-step explanation:
Your question was this:
9+8/(-4)-12
I want you first to get rid of the -4-12 and be done with it so here are the steps:
Rule: If negative subtract a negative, that shall be an addition problem with the larger number's symbol.
In this case, we need to add 4 and 12 together and include the negative symbol in front of the answer.
That shall be -16
Our Question now:
9+8/-16
So do 9+8 which is 17.
Our question now:
17/-16
Your answer is an improper fraction so you could change it to a mixed number or you could simply divide 17 and -16 to get a negative decimal.
Here are the possible answers:
Mixed Number: -1 1/16
Decimal Form: -1.0625
