volume_mute
Just remember to write a negative sign in front of each step of the solution
Correct Answer
True
Explanation
For example, to simplify \(-\frac{15}{33}\) we proceed as follows
\(\require{cancel} \color{red}{-} \frac{15}{33} = \color{red}{-} \frac{\cancel{\color{red}{3}} \cdot 5}{\cancel{\color{red}{3}} \cdot 5} \)
\(= \color{red}{-} \frac{5}{11}\)
