LUL 
9 x 10 = 90
9 x 2 = 18
90 - 18 = 90 - 20 + 2 

negative x negative = positive

nincompoop · Answer

anonymous · Answer

This is a regular multiplication problem just with some negatives added to it! So do 9 x 8.
Then since negative x negative = positive, the final answer would be positive. 

Good luck, remember practice makes perfect!

nincompoop · Answer

we can say that if negative goes to the left multiplying it by another negative would be going to the right 

in grammar it works the same

ganeshie8 · Answer

negative goes to left, multiplying it by another positive keeps it going left
