Question

Use the distributive property to show why the product (-6)(-3) is positive.

Answer 1

Answer:

The product of (-6) (-3) by distributive property is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive properties are used in arithmetic multiplication and division to reduce the time and to answer faster.

(-6) (-3) can be written as (-6) (-2 (+) -1)

By distributive property of multiplication

(-6) (-2 (+) -1) ={ (-6) (-2) + (-6) (-1) }

     = { 12 + 6} = 18

since the product of ( - ) ( - ) = ( + )

multiplying two negative number gives a positive number.

Therefore the answer is 18.
