The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the expression \((x/y) \div z\) is positive, negative, or cannot be determined, given that \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\) are all negative, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Analyze the first part of the expression \((x/y)\) Since both \(x\) and \(y\) are negative, we can use the property of division involving negative numbers: \[ \text{Negative} \div \text{Negative} = \text{Positive} \] Thus, \((x/y)\) will be positive. ### Step 2: Analyze the second part of the expression \((x/y) \div z\) Now, we take the result from Step 1, which is positive, and divide it by \(z\). Since \(z\) is also negative, we apply the division property again: \[ \text{Positive} \div \text{Negative} = \text{Negative} \] Thus, \((x/y) \div z\) will be negative. ### Conclusion The final result of the expression \((x/y) \div z\) is negative. ### Final Answer The expression is **Negative**. ---
