Question

i have this question on my homework but its
(-5)(-3) =

so woud i just subtract or would i add

Answer 1

That is a multiplication problem. Why are you just ignoring the parentheses?

Answer 2

i wasnt

Answer 3

i just dont know how to solve the question cuz i had one on my test last week and it was (-4) (-4) = and i put 8 and it the answer was 1

Answer 4

No... The answer was 16.

Answer 5

How could you have the correct answer as one in your test at school? That's complete rubbish. If you had a line between the brackets then the answer would be 1.

Answer 6

but on the test it said 16 and 8 were wrong it said 1 was right but it looked like an I

Answer 7

I see. It is hard to respond to incorrect information. The ONLY way to get 1 out of (-4)(-4) is by putting DIVISION between them. Maybe it was a misprint, or something.

(-4)+(-4) = -8
(-4)-(-4) = 0
(-4)/(-4) = 1
(-4)*(-4) = 16

The ONLY operation assumed by juxtaposition is multiplication. (-5)(-3) = (-5)*(-3) = 15

Answer 8

Dude...
\[(-a)(-b)=-a \times -b\]
That's what that means. It's just multiplying numbers. It's the same practicing your "times/muplication tables"

Answer 9

ok so the correct answer would b 15

Answer 10

same as*

Answer 11

-5 time -3 right

Answer 12

Yes.

Answer 13

?*

Answer 17

and this one im completly confused (5+3)3 - 10/2=

Answer 18

...If you're telling us to use order of operations, why aren't you using it for yourself so you can solve it? Tell me the order of operations from start to finish.

Answer 19

Paranthesis exponents multiplacation division

Answer 20

Answer 21

Answer 22

What grade are you in?

Answer 23

10th

Answer 24

Mate....This is grade 1 stuff. That's a pretty low standard considering you're in 10th grade!!....

Answer 25

All I can say is that you got 9 years to catch up and you better hurry up. All I can do is recommend you to get a tutor ASAP. People here on this website can't help you catch up 9 years of maths. You should seriously go and ask your teacher for help. No point going on the internet and asking. That's just useless.

Answer 26

Too much games and procrastination= this standard.

Answer 32

there was no algebra in fluttering elementary school

Answer 33

Answer 34

Dude, you're not doing algebra!! Get it right, you're doing basic arithmetic. Algebra in the most basic definition contains at least one variable or more.

Answer 35

All you're doing is doing maths that 1st grade students are learning.

Answer 36

Answer 38

You haven't giving me an answer yet to your question so I know that you're "doing it right"...

Answer 39

so I wouldn't know*

Answer 40

ok so im on -7[ 6 divided by 2 +3(5-3) and that little 2 at the top outside of the parenthesis

Answer 41

so i i do (5-3) which = 2

Answer 42

and that little 2 outside the parenthesis i multiply the 2 by 2 which is 4

Answer 43

this is where im stuck

Answer 44

cuz the little to is outside the paranthesis

Answer 45

so would i put 2 inside the paranthesis

Answer 46

(2) in replace of (5-3)

Answer 47

Dude, your question is confusing with words. Draw it out with numbers....
