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
