Question 68726: I have a math problem that I am trying to solve.
16/ (-2) x (-4) this is the top row, it is division of real numbers
2 to the third power + 4 this is the bottom line
I did 16 divided by 2=8 x 4=32 as my top line then I got 8+4 as my bottom line
but that is not even. I also tried 16 divided by 8=2 as my top line and got 12 as my bottom line.
What am I doing wrong?
