Hi. I've watched this video twice was wondering if you could tell me why in problem 1 to there is no solution (-2) but in problem number 3 with a (-7) we have solutions. I'm sure there is a simple reason, but I just not see it.

For the third question, wouldn't it be inverse operations of dividing the -1 with -1 and then -1 with -9?

Once again, Mario, terrific video. However, you really should put leading the zero when writing decimals. Forty lashes with a wet noodle! 🙂
