You asked:

Investigate the equation: \(\frac{27}{-9} = -\left( \frac{1}{3} \right)\).

MathBot Answer:

This equation has no unknown quantities, so it is either true or false.

This equation is false because the left-hand side is not equal to the right-hand side.

The left-hand side of the equation is:

\[\frac{27}{-9} = -3\]

The right-hand side of the equation is:

\[-\left( \frac{1}{3} \right) = - \frac{1}{3}\]
