There are two negative signs in the whole product, so it will be positive

negative time negative gives you positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

negative times positive= negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes product of 2 -gtive number is positive because when we multiply two first number and 2nd two numbers then we get the multiplication in negative form liike that as -75 and -168

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your problem is (+)(-)(+)(-)... Two positives two negatives= Positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now multiply -75 with -168

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's because if there is an even number of negative numbers, the product is always positive. If there is an odd number of negative numbers, the product is negative.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and we rearrange the signs so (-) (- )(+)(+)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There are two negative numbers, which means their product is a positive number.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when we multiply any +sitive number with negative then positive number changes into negative @helpme23

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so two negative numbers we'll get then -ve will be multiply with -ve changes into +sitve @helpme23

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it? @YanaSidlinskiy

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

Yea. I understood it in the first place. I just wanted if the asker knew how to solve it:) I did it just because of @helpme23 .

OpenStudy (anonymous):
