Since m*n=(m/n - n/m)

the same is applicable to -3*4

which will be -3*4=(-3/4 - 4/-3)

therefore;-3/4 - 4/-3=l.c.m=-12

(9-16/-12)=-7/-12

eliminate the subtraction sign and d answer is 7/12

since m*n ={m/n -n/m}

-3*4= (-3/4 - 4/-3)

the l.c.m of the denominators is -12, therefore

9-16/-12

= -7/-12

the minus signs will cancel out each other so the answer z 7/12

correct

Since m*n = (m/n - n/m) equals to -3*4

i.e m=-3 and n=4

sub.m=-3 and n=4 into (m/n - n/m).....

(-3/4 - 4/-3) the LCM is -12 it gives -3(-3) - 4(4) all divided by the LCM -12 and equals

9-16 divided by -12

-7/-12 divide both sides by - =7/12

m*n=(m/n-n/m)

m=-3/4 and n=4/-3

=(-3/4)-(4/-3)

Take L.C.M of 4and-3=12

(-3/4)-(4/-3)

4 go in 12=3*-3=-9, -3 go in 12=-4*4=-16 now we have

=-9-(-16)/12 ,(-*-16 = +16)

=-9+16/12

=7/12

pls can someone explain this for me

I did mine like this:

-3*4=3/4 + 4/3

then

3+4=7

4*3=12

which is=
