Answer:

hello!!!

We will learn it simple method,we know that multiplication of whole numbers is repeated addition. For example

3*4= 4+4+4

in this same way we can say that

[-12]=(-3)+(-3)+(-3)+(-3)

also,

4(*-3)=(-12)

for the second equation we can take it same as the above one

So it make no diffrence when we multiplied integers as (positive)*(negative) OR (NEGATIVE)*(POSITIVE)

And so now we can say

FOR ANY TWO POSITIVE INTEGER a and b WE CAN SAY

 (-a) *(b) = (-b)*(a) = -(a*b)

HOPE FULLY U MAY LIKED MY ANSWER GIVE POSITIVE FEEDBACK AND IF WANTS ANYTHING OTHER YOU MAY ASK ME IN COMMENT

Point f lies between points g and m. gf =12x+4, fm=16 and gm =16x what is the value of x
Flura [38]

\underset{\leftarrow \qquad \text{\LARGE 16x}\qquad \to }{\stackrel{12x + 4}{G\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}} F\stackrel{16}{\rule[0.35em]{16em}{0.25pt}M}} \\\\\\ \stackrel{GF}{12x+4} ~~ + ~~ \stackrel{FM}{16} ~~ = ~~ \stackrel{GM }{16x}\qquad \implies 12x+20=16x \\\\\\ 20=4x\implies \cfrac{20}{4}=x\implies 5=x
