Graphical form: $\"-9-3%2A%284-9%29%2F%28-3%29\"$ simplifies to $\"-14\"$
Text form: -9-3*(4-9)/(-3) simplifies to -14
Cartoon (animation) form: $\"simplify_cartoon%28+-9-3%2A%284-9%29%2F%28-3%29+%29\"$
For tutors: simplify_cartoon( -9-3*(4-9)/(-3) )

DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "

Look at $\"-9-highlight_red%28+3%2A%284-9%29%2F%28-highlight_red%28+3+%29%29+%29\"$ .
Remove unneeded parentheses around factor $\"highlight_red%28+1%2F3+%29\"$
It becomes $\"-9%2B3%2A%284-9%29%2Fhighlight_green%28+3+%29\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "

Look at $\"-9%2Bhighlight_red%28+3+%29%2A%284-9%29%2Fhighlight_red%28+3+%29\"$ .
Factors 3 and 3 have greatest common factor (GCF) of 3. Reducing fraction.
It becomes $\"-9%2Bhighlight_green%28+1+%29%2A%284-9%29%2Fhighlight_green%28+1+%29\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "

Look at $\"-highlight_red%28+9+%29%2Bhighlight_red%28+1%2A%284-9%29%2F1+%29\"$ .
Replace constants in expression: $\"highlight_red%28+-9+%29\"$ , $\"highlight_red%28+1%2A%284-9%29%2F1+%29\"$ with $\"highlight_green%28+-14+%29\"$
It becomes $\"highlight_green%28+-14+%29\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "

Look at $\"highlight_red%28+-14+%29\"$ .
Removed extra sign in front of $\"-14\"$
It becomes $\"-highlight_green%28+14+%29\"$ .
Result: $\"-14\"$
