Question 140738: i know how to do equations the easy way, for example, one of my questions is- k divided by negative 5 equals negative 5. so k=1 because 1 times negative 5 equals -5. but my teacher wants me to show my work the mathematical way, but we had a sub today who did not explain to me well at all the mathematical way. so can you help me? Thank so very much for your time.

k/-5=-5
cross multiply
k=-5*-5
k=25 answer.
