No its not B
(-2)8 = -2 * 8 = -16
18 +(-2) =16

D. ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got D. from what i worked out
OpenStudy (adrynicoleb):
Well a negative times a negative equals a positive. So (-2)(-8) would be 16.
And for 2 + (-18), the answer would be -16 because the negative is bigger than a positive.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
my last choice is C. but i dont think it can be that because i dont believe it was a match when i did it
OpenStudy (adrynicoleb):
No, it is not a match. 2(8) is 16, and 2 + 18 equals 20.
