Practice makes perfect

To evaluate the given expression for r=-4, first, we should substitute -4 for r in the given expression and simplify.

8-r/-2

r= -4

8-( -4)/-2

a-(- b)=a+b

8+4/-2

When dividing real numbers, the quotient will be positive if the signs are the same and it will be negative if the signs are different. cc Same Sign & Different Signs (+)÷(+)=(+) & (+)÷(-)=(-) (-)÷(-)=(+) & (-)÷(+)=(-) In our case one number is positive and one number is negative, so the quotient will be negative.
