I thought if I multiplyed a negative number to a negative number it would give me a positive but which one would give me zero

philcua · Answer

Wow i looked at them but none would give me the answer

philcua · Answer

-12 * 12 would give me -144 so thats not it

You don't even need to multiply 3 and -4 together.
You can only have a product that equals zero if one of its factors is zero.
Since -3 and 4 are not zero, then what must x be?

philcua · Answer

so like 10 or 20

I am really lost right now

igreen · Answer

Yep, multiplying something to 0 will give you 0..and since there isn't a zero multiplied in there, what should x be?

philcua · Answer

X should be zero

mathstudent55 · Answer

Do these multiplications: 
1 * 0 =
2 * 0 = 
3 * 0 =
25,000 * 0 =
124^3 * 0 =
Any number times zero equals zero.
