Can someone please show me the steps to this question? Please What is the value of -3x when x = 3.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

-3 x 3 = -9. Its just saying.|dw:1457377694828:dw|

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

If one of the integer is negative, and the other is positive, the negative would most likely cancel that out. So it would be '-' automatically as the answer.

OpenStudy (abbycross167):

thats what I thought it would be but 9 is not one of my answer choices... here are the choices a. -27 b. -3 c. 3 d. 27

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

is it -3^x?

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):
