We want to evaluate the expression:
[tex]\frac{9(-4)}{-3}[/tex]This can be written as:
[tex]\frac{3\times3(-1\times4)}{-1\times3}[/tex]Because -1 and 3 exist in both the numerator and denominator, we can cancel them out to have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 3\times4 \\ =12 \end{gathered}[/tex]That is our answer!
