That doesn't really help me

johnweldon1993 · Answer

just think about that

2 times (-3) + 7
---------
-4 times (-3) -10

so what is 2 times -3? then add 7...you get?
and what is -4 times -3? then subtract 10...you get?

anonymous · Answer

-13? -2

johnweldon1993 · Answer

not quite....2 times -3....would be -6 correct? then -6 + 7 would be 1

and -4 times -3 ...is 12 right? (negative times negative = positive) then - 10 is 2

so

1
--
2
