Question 581383
First, (-)/(-) = (+), so the answer is positive
You can think of this as {{{ 59/7 }}} divided
into 3 equal parts ( you can ignore the (-) signs )
I will call the 3 equal parts {{{x}}}, {{{x}}}, and {{{x}}},
or {{{ 3x }}}, so {{{ 3x = 59/7 }}}
Multiply both sides by {{{ 7 }}}
{{{ 21x = 59 }}}
{{{ x = 59/21 }}} answer
check the answer:
{{{ 3x = 59/7 }}}
{{{ 3*(59/21) = 59/7 }}}
{{{ (3/21)*59 = 59/7 }}}
{{{ (1/7)*59 = 59/7 }}}
{{{ 59/7 = 59/7 }}}
OK
