2/3 * x = 5/8
5/8 / 2/3 = x
5/8 * 3/2 = x
15/16 = x
^^ Above is all the work done to answer the following question.
The answer was done correctly except that the negative 2 will yield an answer that is:
- (15/16) = x
-1/6 * 3x = -3x/6 = -x/2
The number is 16/5
-2, 3
-1
f(x) = 2*(x-3)*(x+2)/(x-1) for x ≠1

Negative times negative is positive. Negative 2 times negative 2 equals positive 4.
nope negative plus negative equals a negative -2+(-4)=-6 but negative times negative equals a positive
Exactly! -6 to the power of 2 means "-6 times -6". That's a negative times a negative, and the answer is positive 36.
-24
(-2) * (-3) = +6
-1 to the power of four equals -1 times -1 times -1 times -1. -1 times -1 equals 1 (since a negative times a negative equals a positive). (1 to the power of 2) 1 times -1 equals -1 (since a negative times a positive equals a negative). (1 to the power of 3) -1 times -1 equals 1. (1 to the power of 4)
negative 2 over 6
7569 times 10 to the power of negative 2
-4 x 2
-2
Because a negative times a negative always equals a positive. For example, -2 times -2 equals 4.
