Step-by-step solution

Let's write the exercise as a fraction:

−8−12= \frac{-8}{-12}=

We'll break down the numerator and denominator into multiplication exercises:

−4×2−4×3= \frac{-4\times2}{-4\times3}=

We'll simplify the 4 in the numerator and denominator of the fraction and get:

−2−3= \frac{-2}{-3}=

Let's remember that when we divide a negative number by a negative number, the result will always be positive.
