Why is the quotient -100/(-5) the same as the quotient 100/5

The quotient of -100 and -5  is the same as the quotient of 100/5 because if you divide a negative number by a negative number, you will get a positive number and the same way if you divide a positive number by a positive number you will get a positive number.

Step-by-step explanation:

-100/-5 = 20

100/5 = 20

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
